HAHA ! Now i know why you all love vettes !
Happen to wash my Dodge Ram ( new) and the vette in the same week.....haha, oboyoboy, for the Ram i needed a stair to reach the roof and mid of bed liner , and square meters of body to clean....incredeble ! And with the vette , yepyep, the complete top is possible standing from 1 side

So that's why you all LOVE vettes ! you can pamper them without having hight-fears !

Wash your 'Vette??? I've had my '74 since 1997, and it's ben washed...hmmm...let me think...twice!! What do you guys do....drive them or something? Do they get dirty when you drive them, or are ya'll just mud-monsters, lookin for every puddle ya can find

I have a Ford 4x4 crew cab truck and always dread the washing and waxing task. It takes for ever. The MG and Vette take no time at all. Plus I only wash and wax them maybe twice during the summer. The rest of the time I just take my duster to them.

Barry, I have to get a ladder to wash the top of my truck too

Well I've had my Vette for almost a year now and I've never washed it. Waxed, Polished, and dusted it a bunch of times though, don't know if I'll ever really use water on it

But ya I know what you mean, its really hard to reach the top and bed cover on my truck also and its susposed to be a mid-sized truck

Try washing a big Ford Van. I don't do vans!

I wash the C5 at least once a week, but usually twice. The Gold Thing is due for a wash, clay bar (can't wait to try it), wash & polish.

Vette(s): 1975 C3 Red, T-Tops, Black Interior. All I need is time and money! Getting there!

It makes it very easy for me. There is no need to wash paint, when there is no paint!
