Spring Right Around the Corner..Can't Wait! - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

Most people start looking forward to golf, riding your bike and just generally coming out of hibernation here in snow country.

I said most people, I am already taking inventory on detail items on hand and sizing up the damage winter elements have done to my daily drivers.

I look forward to salt free roads and spending the weekend doing paint correction on my cars.

Taking the cover off of my Camaro and pulling it out for the first time.

This is just plain wrong...My neighbors think I am a bit odd when I pull my leaf blower out to dry my cars and spend hours in he garage with my cars getting them to look as good as my talents will allow.

I know this group will understand my "illness" the neighbors think, I am out of my mind.

Your not alone with this illness man believe me!

I'm right there with you... unfortunately though Colorado hasn't been thru the worst yet. March is historically our worst month for snow, but after that its smoooooooth sailing. Bring on the warm weather!!

If it's an illness, I don't want to be well!

A lot of people who drive cars aren't concerned with their appearance, they just want something to get from point A to point B.

My neighbors think the same way as yours, except 1.

I've even started walking to and from work. It's only 8/10 of a mile and takes 15 minutes. No salt, sand, or magnesium chloride getting on my car. Some people at work think that's crazy. Make a $400 dollar payment and don't drive it to work? Let them think what they want.

I'm looking forward to golf for sure, but am also looking forward to polishing with the Reflect polish I got from Carpro, painting my hubs and calipers, and basking in the aroma of Adams car shampoo and detail spray!

If "right around the corner" means July, then yes, spring is coming soon......

I have the same illness. For me, it's been a long time since I had a vehicle that I really wanted to detail. The illness started with a '76 Camaro, that I polished down to the metal. My next cool ride was a Corvette. I used to keep it spotless and my neighbors would always make smart ass comments about it.

After that, family got in the way and I always drove pick up trucks. I tried to get interested in detailing them, but it just wasn't the same. I just took the truck to the carwash and called it a day.

Now I have my SS. I can't wait to shine it up. My closet is full of new products and detailing tools. The sickness has returned!!!

I can't wait, as I type this I'm dreading going outside to shovel snow yet again.
