Checking In
Hello,
I've been registered here for awhile now, and have really picked up alot of great info. Thought I would finally check in and say hello. My current vehicle is a 2011 Corvette Grand Sport in CyberGray metallic. The car is a "garage queen" that is only driven in nice weather and mostly on weekends. I enjoy detailing both the Vette and our DD, a RAV4, and look forward to learning more tips here on the Forum.
Thanks!
Chuck
