That's a picture of my old 1984 Cutlass with about 125k miles on it (don't own it anymore). Almost 20 years old and still lookin' like new. Just soap, water, some dressing every now and then on the rubber surfaces, and the result? First place trophies at car shows.
There's my '95 Nissan, with 173,000 miles. Lookin' like brand new.
I've found that the Northstar is much easier to keep clean for a few reasons. One, it's much newer, and doesn't have all the crud on it. Two, it's much simpler in that it doesn't have miles and miles of vacuum line and electrical wiring like my old Cutlass did. Especially with the beauty cover in place.
Dontcha have the biggest case of spring fever right now? I see you're in Indiana, so you probably have it worse than we do...and I can't WAIT for spring! I want to do a few things to the Seville, but can't stand the bitter cold out. Grrr!!
Those pictures look good. Be sure to detail your Caddy before we go to Bristol. We may not be the fastest cars there, but we'll look good going down the track.
I cant wait for spring, especially since i am what you would call a "die hard golfer", and snow golf isnt too feasible.
BACK ON TOPIC, what sort of products do you use on the engine, or do you jump in there with a brush and go at it! All of my engines havent required any scrubbing, but none of them are over 35k. Ill prolly scrub the fleetwood sometime, but not when its so fricken cold. I got to wash it when it got to a blistering 50 last weekend.
