Got to learn to switch up a little, that way you can wipe out both arms and your back.

Detailing is a PITA! I spend 6 hours polishing my wheels alone, (which BTW I haven't done in a few months and need to be done soon.) I know what you mean about pain but the rewards are immense.

Looking good

What a difference with that IROC...my truck looks like the "before" pic right now...I'm actually tempted to run to the car wash at the moment lol.

Off topic, but I like the Iron Maiden "The Trooper" pic in your sig...one of my all time favorite songs from one of my top 3 favorite bands. I used to play that tune (I play bass) in my old band.
