Hey Guys,
In relation to the comments by Dr. Honda, I'd like to ask a question of you all - well that is anyone that may be still viewing this thread. How clean were your cars when you got them?
Why am I asking - you may have read Barney's comments on the condition of the paint - well it didn't stop there. The underside of the car was so clean that it actually prompted Barney to be curious as to whether or not it's primary use was on a track. It was really clean - the kind of clean that using degreasing solutions provide - but they weren't used. Actually the car was always - for the last 15 years at least - only driven when the roads were clean and resided those years in Texas.
Not only the paint and underside but the engine compartment and all the little nooks and crannies were clean - as in no dirt when running your finger in the areas around the trunk where the paint is exposed - totally clean - so it would take me very little to make the car ready for a show actually. I have a friend that has been to concours events and pointed out to me the little things they take off for and there weren't that many on my car!!!
So do these cars just stay clean? OR what? Maybe it's the design of the car but it has never sat out in the rain or weather - has had a car cover over it and as you might think with only 42k miles on it now that it hasn't seen a whole lot of daylight.
What have you guys experienced?
