I started using Ice rather than liquid glass on my 08 .I found they have a synthetic paste .I tried it last year and I have two coats and it does a great job especially on my clear bra .Bugs rinse off with just a hose.My son has tried it on his teeth ,he rides a Harley and he agrees .

Took a trip to the yearly biggest car show anywhere yesterday. It's Hot August Nights in Reno Nevada. Now I see why people go for a full week as there are way too many cars to see.

If I ever sell my 08 I'm going to try for a Crystal red GS .This will probably be my last and it may end up a garage queen (semi).I'm getting older and a few more years the Govt will probably take my license.

C5's and C6's have a bad habit of collecting rubbish up in front of the radiator.This may accrue on C4's also. I recommend that you jack up your pride and check it out .I vacuum mine out twice a year.Leaves ,pine needles ,trainin' bras all get stuck up in there .
