All the buses in this fleet are awaiting their annual cleaning.  Along with many other preventative maintenance items, once a year these buses are hand-polished; the bumpers and wheels are sanded and repainted; Armor-All is put on the seats; and necessary touch-ups are applied to the body.  The drivers are consistent about keeping clean interiors as well.  This bus originally served the East China (MI) School District as #98-1.
