Man. this is like talking to my wife.

1. Some dude said he was paid $300 to clean the underside of a few 993s.
2. I said, "man, i would pay minimum $300"
3. "minimum $300" could mean $300,000,000.00.
4. Technically, I suggested I would pay someone any number above $300.

$300m? any takers?

realistically, I'd say you're paying at least $1500 and no one will do it as well as the owner as well since they don't have really any attachment to it.

I think the above pictures look great, if you want the car in a museum. I simply got the bottom of the car clean enough for me to not hate working on it.

I don't see the point of making the bottom of the car concours clean.

OK, OK, you wore me down. $300 million it is.

I'll do it.

And since you're a Rennlister, I'll do it for $200 million and throw a party in Vegas for everyone on the board, too.

Amazing work by the way.
That **** is what came on them. Not sure if it is a special one or not. I think it is stock or I got lucky!

Xenit and a hot water pressure washer. Lots of scrubbing with a wire brush. It is not really hard work just time consuming. Thanks for the positive thoughts. My wife thinks I am stupid

I don't think your stupid...........
If I thought you were stupid, then I'd have to say I were stupid.

Nothing wrong with having a clean bottom.

Some spend so much time on the task, one might assume they enjoy it.

Sometimes I think you Cleanicks are in it partly for the occasional huff of Xenit. At a minimum the fumes probably help you lose track of time and just keep cleaning.

I just convince myself that I'm working in a beautiful orange grove, surrounded by scantily-clad women.
