I usually hang my MC from the clothesline, so it can have the Fresh Spring scent.

I can't wait for the warmer weather. I desperately need to shampoo the carpet in the driver`s footwell. Salt stains like crazy.

I use Meguire`s NXT Generation Tech Protect on the interior. I have sworn off Armor All. Or should I say, "Crack's All". Armor All has cracked and ruined too many things in cars that I and other family members have owned.

Gotta clean and condition the leather, wash and wax the exterior.

Replace the Dale Jr stickers with Aric Almirola stickers...

It was finally warm today in the Chicagoland area. I took Silver over to the do-it-yourself car wash to blast all of that nasty salt off. I didn’t really dry it off because I just got over some nasty stomach bug so I was a little weak still. Tomorrow looks nice too so maybe I will be able to get my new Goodyear GT tires mounted. I still want to do an oil change and radiator flush before it hits 60k miles (which is very soon). I promise when I feel better and I am really able to spend some time detailing Silver I will take lots of pics.

Precious probably will not come out of storage until April depending on if we get a late snow storm like we did last year [:@]

haha, when my car was in the body shop, he sent me a picture of the tony stewart autograph on the c-pillar covered with masking tape and they "signed" joey logano over it.

if you're gonna rock out with AA on your car you will have to paint it green to match the tom-tom paint scheme he's got running this year

Already got that covered Jamie Lynn! What do ya think? Limited edition Aric Almirola Monte Carlo Signature Series. 1 of 1.



P.S. I sure am getting a lot of mileage out of that pic aren't I?
