New addition to the garage (pics incl)
Purchased a Corvette Club buddy's Kwiklift. It should make undercar work much easier.
My '95 LT1 in dire need of a bath and shine....:o
Anyone have a helpfull tip to detail the inner wheel wells?

Nice lift! That would've come in real handy for the past month here - LOL! I need to work on my wheel wells a bit, too - I'm just going to scrub them down good and put a coat of Zaino Perfect Tire Gloss on 'em.

wheel well detail
I like to use an assortment of nylon brushes and Dawn liquid detergent to start with and see where that gets me. If its still too grimey, then I use some mineral spirits and rags. Follow that with Simple Green and rinse everything very well. High pressure is your friend if possible.

I did the center panels on the front with the Zaino after cleaning them (had 'em off to do some work), and they look much darker than the other parts now. I imagine any kind of trim shine stuff would work just fine.

The NAPA store is having a "tool show" tom orrow and a lift is the thin g that I'll be looking at.
If you have any recomendation let me know. My garage is approx 8'-9' high. I'm doing upgrades and I WISH I had a lift!
