We stopped out at Riverside Park in Ypsilanti on Sunday to see a gathering of Camaros. There were about 350 cars there for the judging on Saturday. I was particularly interested in the 60's models since I owned a '68 Z28 at one time. We have pictures here from the event for anyone interested.

Sunday 6/25
On Bob's recommendation, (and using the sample he provided) I used a product called 'Wash Wax All' on my truck. It's a drying aid that you spray on as you dry the car after washing and then wipe with a soft cotton cloth. I have to say that it left a beautifully clean finish with no water marks and no streaks. It seems to work as well as he said it would. It's marketed to the aviation industry, but used by many show car owners. I'll likely buy more when I've used up the bottle that Bob gave me. Look at the company website for more info. www.washwax.com
Look at a couple of pictures of my clean truck
