Saw Some Two-Fisted Junk, man...in Paducah, Ky.

[FUNX650]

{More on the thread-starter's subject matter a little bit later... }

-This past book-ended weekend (09.07-10.2012), the Wife and I drove down to Paducah, Ky. to attend the:
Four Rivers Corvette Club's annual "Corvettes on the River"...A Charity Car Show to benefit the St. Nicholas Family Clinic.

-Upon arriving, unloading, and parking our vehicle at our Paducah's motel destination,
we were then greeted by the predicted severe storms...With: Torrential, flooding-rains;
60-70mph wind (tornadic action just a few miles north in Illinois);
and even small diameter hail...That lasted into most of the night.

(Most Corvettes don't float very well...So we took a taxi to grab a bite to eat.)


-However, by sunrise Saturday morn, the weather turned out to be excellent!
Dried the vehicle...Off to the car show...

-What was pretty unique...This is a car show that is judged by some of the senior(<<< been there awhile)
Technicians from the Bowling Green Assembly Plant!!


Here's a few of the pics of this event:

A couple pics of the awards presentation:

The Junkman, himself!!
He drove down from Louisville, Ky. to once again provide on-site, hands-on, detailing-training.

Very nice Man...
Glad I had the opportunity to meet, and speak with him in person.

-Thanks for asking, VT; and: Thankfully, the monsoon rains removed a lot of
contaminates from the drive down to Paducah!!

1. Meg's UQD/Klasse HGSG @ 8oz:1/2oz ratio
2. Rear Clip: 50/50 mix Meg's UQD/Distilled Water...

a.) Pre-trip: 303AP
b.) At Show: 303AP

-What Little 'Bright-work'...
a.) Pre-trip:
1. Wheels...Sprayway to clean...Then, Simichrome
2. Exhaust...Sprayway to clean...Then, Simichrome

Persistence and dedication. :dblthumb2:

That's quite a regimen to follow...you are detailer par excellence, and forum member extroadinaire.

3. Once around with Meg's #26 (including a chilled-distilled 'water treatment' 8 hrs. later)

Maybe someday, you'd be willing to expand on this step - for use by us less knowledged folk.

He even puts on his detaling-clinic---gratis!! (that's mean for FREE)

I really like the Richmond area...

I know that guy. I see him bright and early every morning. He's really rough to look at that early in the morning.

I have been having the same 'mirror-issue'...

But alas...
I'm still inflicted by, and can't seem to elude the roughness,
that continues the remainder of my waking-hours.
