Some serious driveway candy. As you can see, I do not live in a "rich" neighborhood so when I spend half the day detailing my phallic symbols, I get a lot of attention



Too bad either dust or me driving one of them somewhere will get them filthy again. I love spending time cleaning these things.

How long do you guys spend on average each weekend (or weekday) cleaning your rides?

I like your setup :) However, a Z06 would have made me ditch my 22 y/o 106lb, Dcup, blonde florida girlfriend and move in with you.

I can't track time when I'm cleaning the beast.:D

I can tell you I'm wiping brake dust twice daily. I love to see these rims reflect off fellow driver's foreheads.:D

You "black" guys are gluttons for punishment. I clean mine as little as possible. I like driving.

Nice work. My beauties seriously need cleaning, but with being in the middle of selling my current house and buying a new one, I don't have much time for them. :(

I have washed or wiped mine down EVERY DAY since I drove it home.......:o :D

Usually takes me 45 minutes if I wash or 30 minutes if I wipe it down and clean the wheels.

Yeah I wish it only took me 3 hours... every week I do a full exterior and interior detail. I wash the body, undercarrage, wheelwells, roof, etc. Wax every thing from the wheels to the windows. Clean and condition my interior. then I repeat the process the next day (if its open). Soon i'll be doing these same steps on a brand new 08 SRT8. I Can't wait :D

Edit:

here are some pics of my current car. (about 4-7 hours a weekend)

I concur, the duster is a blessing. Do those things ever wear out? I mean, the oil in the fabric, does it wear down? Then, do you just tooss it ad buy another or what? I also have a new Eclipse (black, of course) that I use it on so it gets a serious workout.

I really wish the rims were chrome on the Yeep. I have never been a fan of the polished look. Even when clean, they still look slightly clouded. I'm just a sucker for nice t*ts and shiney rims, what can I say.

A viper would look a little more fitting next to the Srt-8, both being limited production vehicles.

But the the vette isnt too shabby.

Nice rides!

I think you guys would vote me off the board if you saw how dirty my GC was. :o
