Default Pictures of detailing Monte's underside

Well I figured it was time to clean my Monte's underside once again. Seems like even though I try to limit my driving of the Monte in bad weather conditions it will still get hammered down there. Guess last year driving to the GM Nat's through many storm systems helped trash out things too. So put the car up on jack stands, removed the tires and spent about 4 days down there, some days longer then others but averaged 6 hrs a day. Used Jax Wax Citrus degreaser, Dawn dish soap & water. Once cleaned I was able to identify any new rust spots (mostly on the exhaust system welds) and treated them with a rust converter. Then it was painting things, waxing a few things like struts and touching up the underside with the Pro-grade rubberized undercoating. Tried to do a few before and after pictures.
Now it should be good for another couple of years...

Looking Great Mr. Greg!
Nicely done...
Still looks like brand new!

I miss being that agile...
But im sure the personal satisfaction of a job well done makes it all worth it.

Maybe you should rename it...
SHOWTIME!
