It’s Spring Time, when a young man’s fancy turns to cleaning out his vehicle. Because it’s filthy...

S o, I had a different kind of OppoMeet idea that I wanted to run by Detroit Oppos:

How about a group meetup where we wash & clean out our vehicles & then take cruise to dinner?

Thoughts?

I like the idea but we’d need a lot of hoses, vacuums  and equipment to do it. I’m a Detroit area Oppo too.

Speaking of clean. How do you like the Z71 seats? How are they to clean with not being full leather?

The “leather” parts aren’t bad. This is the first time I need to really clean the cloth inserts. At least they’re not as bumpy other chevy cloth seats.

I probably should have done my interior yesterday when it was warm. Not too bad, but I’ve got some dirt because the ski resort parking area turned into a two inch deep mud pit last time I was out. I noticed some mud on my rear seats as well, not sure how it got there, maybe I drove my parents’ dogs somewhere?

Those rubber mats need a good scrub. Adams do a R ubber M at and Liner Cleaner. Works a treat.

Restores the rubber to a nice lustre.

I am game if you can set something up mid week. I head up north on Thursday evenings. What is your typical cruise route? We do the m39 to Pinckney and Huron River Drive back to the city  a few times a year.

I’m down, if we can get the  logistics figured out. We’d have to pick a place with LOTS of washbays/vacuums, so that there’s enough to go around...

I should buy m ore Adams stuff. I use the tire cleaner on my Mustang after every wash. I’ll get some of this too.

The first one I tried was the H2O Guard and Gloss, sure it’s a bit finicky with spray on, wipe with a damp cloth and buff with a dry cloth, but it’s non smeary (great for black cars) and gives a waxed look to red cars.

The mat cleaner is great, sprayed on, agitated with a brush and then hosed off and hung up to dry. 

The undercarriage spray is good for dressing wheel arches.

I didn’t rate the spray wax or detailer spray.

Well at least it’s supposed to be 53 on Tuesday.

The very first words out of my mouth this morning were

“Are you fucking kidding me?!”
