• 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?

i used the cheapest of the cheap. i used turtle wax heavy to medium liquid compound and meguiar's swirl remover/wax. i used the aggressive yellow pad, and leaned hard and moved slow, in 2 foot square areas, worked the product in till it was dry, wipe it off, repeat. i think i was doing 10 passes per square, so 5 times up and down, and 5 times going left and right alternating up/down, left/right with a 50% over lap on the passes. each area i spent like 5 minutes or more easy.

the wax i used a large foam pad, no need to lean so hard, just worked it in till it was dry, same way N/S, E/W wiped it off, and repeat.

i think i washed out the pad 3 times during the whole job, as it would start to slinging product around from build up. my brother said it was normal and said to wash it out.
 
Yeah, I went thru 3 pads as well.
2 white ones for the polish and 1 for the sealant.

I have become a sucker for Poorboys World stuff.
It's amazing and low cost for such a great product.
The G6 was the first time I ever used the PC and the Poorboys stuff and I was beyond amazed.
 
i didn't wear out my pad at all, its still got lots of life left it in. but there are different grades of pads, from very aggressive, to medium and fine. and then the foam pads are real soft, for the wax. i may splurge for 2 more grades of compound, and get the last 2 cuts done soon, the good stuffs like 30 a bottle, and by the looks of my brothers cars and trucks, they work well. he uses the porter cable almost every 2 months or so on his yukon.

this pic was taken in end of jan, of this year after a porter cable run on it . nut job....

Finally got the battery in the car, plumbed half of my IC , did some slight modifications to my cobra IC res and installed it behind the driver side cross brace.....pressurized fuel system and found a small leak at the fuel filter, trying to seal that up as we speak.
 
Started to hear an Awesome CLUNK when i put the car into reverse while parked on a steep hill... me thinks a mount is busted??
 


Drove it to work.
Dropped the spoiler off for paint.
Filled it up with gas, after it jumped .20 cents.
Washed it.
Attempted filling the p/s fluid.

I must really love that car today.
 
Well figured I'd get in on this thread.

Started putting transmission back together with a complete stage 1 rebuild from tep.

Picked up cylinder heads from the machine shop.

Got tired of working on the trans and shifted over to cleaning the engine block up for assembly.

That's about it for tonight. I honestly forgot how much I hate doing transmissions.
