I'll take new pics next sunny day. But to give you an idea, I washed & detailed it yesterday and today it's parked on freshly-vacuumed carpet in the garage, and the cover is on, waiting for the weekend- IF it's dry, warm, and sunny!

Interior cleaning once a week - (wiping down surfaces with distilled water and occasionally, 303 aerospace)

Wheels 1-2 times a week, exhaust tips once a week, engine bay dusting (a little bit) when I check my oil @ every fillup.

Yup, just like me. The winters here can be brutal. Got to love the East Coast, right?

All the cars look sweet.

I just got back from a drive to Steptoe Butte and I took this one, it was still clean, sorta, there is some dust on the bottom of the bumper there

It's not the camera, but rather PS skills. Camera is a simple 4 year old point and shoot.
