Ran the Paddy-Wagon to the office and back today, gave the little guy a treat to the tune of $63.60 worth of Shell V-Power Premium, sometimes you just have to spoil 'em.

Oh, I also spent twenty minutes removing the remains of an unfortunate Bumble Bee that committed suicide in the dead center of the Bow-Tie. Talk about "Bumble Guts" everywhere, even on the antenna....Oy!

It took me 3 days to do my "spring clean-up" on the HHR (I'm an old guy). Finished today.

*Sprayed down the under hood area and dried.
*Washed and "de polyed" the entire car with alcohol.
*Washed again, and clay barred.
*Washed again and used NXT.
*Put it on the hoist and removed rims/wheels.
*Cleaned the tires and rims/wheels with a soap degreaser. Rinsed and dried well.
*Polished the outside of the rims/wheels and coated the barrels and the outside with NXT.
*While rims/wheels were off, cleaned and applied a no buff vinyl floor polish to the plastic inner fenders.
*Reinstalled the rim/wheels after applying, and allowing to dry, a tire "shine" product (and checked air pressure).
*Coated all exterior black trim with treatment product.
*Cleaned all the interior "plastic" trim and applied a treatment product.
*Cleaned the leather seats and applied a treatment product.
*Vacuumed and cleaned the IP, dash front and console.
*Sprayed off (to remove any polishing/cleaning residue) and dried well.
*Cleaned all the windows....in and out.

Parked in garage.
