• The site migration is complete! Hopefully everything transferred properly from the multiple decades old software we were using before. If you notice any issues please let me know, thanks! Also, I'm still working on things like chatbox, etc so hopefully those will be working in the next week or two.

What did you do to your Car today?

Mother eff.

So I washed the car, wiped it down really well, clay barred it and then broke out the PC to do a round of rubbing compound. Not even 1/3 of the way through the car the velcro backing started coming loose on my yellow pad. I only have one yellow pad right now too. I really don't feel like doing this by hand. It may just have to wait. :mad:

what pads you got? the HF crap? if so try slower speed, they last longer that way.
 
Wash, clay with Optimum green apple detail spray, Meguiars ultimate detailer to rid of residue, 5.5 orange lake country flat with Meguiars M101 foam cutting compound.....
then 5.5 white flat pad with Ultimate polish. Ultimate wax now waiting for a few hours to top with M26.
Also used some Turtle wax black endura on the tires. They look like I just rubbed em down with brake fluid.

I usually have good luck with speed 6 on my 7424 unless i DUH and lift it......what a mess
 


really? i got them and run the yellow at 5. did my whole car one time so far. and its still intact.

my brother uses them, and they seem to last for at least a few years. and hes does his yukon monthly. im not kidding. monthly year round.

What is this bolt you talk about...

The bolt holding the LCA to the sub frame. It's a T55. It was seized to the metal sleeve of the bushing. While the left side dropped right out, the right was a total time waster.

Well I postponed doing my suspension til next weekend because my tools aren't capable, I'll get the tools from work on friday. So I decided to give changing the downstream o2 sensor another try...still no luck, that thing is rust welded in there. So I got fed up and dropped the whole exhaust and dragged it out so I could get to it better. I got lots of room for more leverage, got it in no time. So now that's changed out finally and no more ses light. I also ran it with the downpipe off..sounded terrible. Also noticed one of the exhaust hangers rusted off so I welded that back on. Now I'm thinking of doing my mirror turn signals and puddle lights today
 


I did 3ft breaker and stood on it, if your talking about the strut to knuckle bolts and when the ones was being annoying the jack handle on that worked wonders.

Yeah if I had the right sockets I would do that. Ill get my snap-on impact sockets from work and my good impact gun and it will take every bolt off instantly.

Also found out today that this last winter did a good number on my rockers...They're looking pretty bad now. You can see it when opening the doors, if I feel up to it I may try and tackle replacing them.
