LOL I am home alone for a night while she is in INDY for a MINI (13mi race) Any hoo I had a list of things to do while she was gone..... Ok so I didnt, but that sounded good! OKOK So I thought I would wash the Satty today, as I started I thought "man I need to Rotate the tires sometime......" THEN IT HIT ME! What a perfect Day to do the wheel wells on the Satty! Whooo hooo So I Got out the jack and stands and went to work. 
I used a little Mix that I use on the tires to clean the wheel wells and the tires inside and the hub caps (BLA) The Mix is 5 parts water 3 parts Simple green, 2 parts cheap car wash. It worked out great! They are not a clean as the SS But it looks a ton better!
My Girl friend Carmin thinks I am a little weird at times because of the things I do to the SS, Wait till she gets home and sees that I did this! HA!

As they say, "When the cats away the mouse will play". :-) Great job! Like the clean tires and rims. You have to put up a pic of a close-up.

BTW that car looks GREAT in the sun. So many of your pictures are from your garage, it's really nice to finally see one parked outside on a nice day with a lot of natural light.

| Ok, give me 18 hours or so, and I will be there (can anyone lend me the cost of a flight from the UK)
Nice job on the car and wheels.

Some time we will have to meet at Indiana beach PrinzII! | a) Actually, I am on the South Side of Chicago which makes getting to IN very easy for me. In fact, I am usually filling up in Hammond or shopping in Hobart or Michigan City.
b) That would actually be cool. In fact, it would be cool to have an Autopia meet there.
c) I am going to be at US 41 in August for a Nissan Meet.

I found myself removing the door panels and disassembling them just so I could get totally clean. | |
