Re: Underhood and suspension cleanup
This represents over 40 hours of cleaning time. I can still see some little things missed here and there but overall I can live with the results. The car has 178k on it and counting, so she's looking okay for her age, haha. Besides, a clean car is a happy - and faster - car, right?

Re: Underhood and suspension cleanup
Great job!
Your results are a fantastic improvement to that car! Time well spent, and results that you will see everyday that you walk by it, show it, or drive it. Marty |

Re: Underhood and suspension cleanup
Thanks all for the kind words. It's a pleasure to clean them up, work but enjoyable, relaxing work. I like a car to present the best it can, even something less than perfection is still nice to see.
In the mid-2000s I was in a very active Corvette club. We used to autocross at least monthly and would enter judged car shows for additional sanctioned points. I've been a judge many times and got great tips and training from a former Bloomington judge from back in the day. I came to really appreciate the small things that separate a good wash and wax from a true show prep. As C4s get older and come up for NCRS more and more, that's something I'd like to pursue in the future. |

Re: Underhood and suspension cleanup
Looks great! I am working on mine right now also.
Trying to get it ready for the Eureka Springs Corvette Weekend. What part of Arkansas are you from? Shawn |

Re: Underhood and suspension cleanup
Hi Shawn. I'm in Little Rock. Would love to make the Eureka event but could only make it for a few hours Friday due to my work schedule. On the fence about that. Where are you located?

Re: Underhood and suspension cleanup
what do you use on the inner wheels wells to get them clean and black again?
