• 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?

Lol had to choose between shiny car or vacation i chose the much needed vacation from this ****ty state. I still have to do some work to get it to where I want it and I just can't get it all done during the school year without cutting corners or halfassing things to get them done quicker. The driver quarter and the rear panel are nowhere near done but Ron wanted it out so I made them work for now.

I figured out tonight I went 7 days on a full tank of 89octane and finally filled up today with primian just to see if I get better mileage :) I hope it lasts 7 days it costs 359 here right now paid 320 with quiktrip fuel points :) Oh and cost 56 bucks to fill up from bone E did it to transfer fuel to 91
 


I paid around 3.65 the other day for super dee duper 93. Costco in my state is nearly the same price as Ma, but when I'm in MA all the time. Yup, I'll fill there thanks
 
Washed Regal, pulled out the porter cable and hit it with super intensive, finish polish, sealant and wax. She's looking about as good as 216K can.

Very nice & rare to see, what province you in? Keep them rockers looking good!
 
Jayke..it's the best you can get for what it does. XP7424 is used by tons of guys that do detailing as a hobby/living. Can't really screw anything up using this random orbital, which makes it nice for the occasional user.

Do you have a good way to get the oxidation off of the paint on the bumpers? I washed mine the other day, and noticed that the plastic pieces look fairly oxidized as far as the paint goes...
 


if the paint is like, fadded on the bumper tops, your paints already gone. i know this because mine are faded to primer. new paint is all that will help.

if you paint is dead, flat and dull with swirl marks, it will bring all that back to life.



edit: you can see the missing paint under my d/s headlight, in my sig pic VVVVVVVV
 
Oxidation etc is exactly what a porter cable xp7424 and some polishes are made for. I use mezerna super intensive polish, then mezerna finish polish and then a sealant and ... on white I used Wolfgang Fusion wax. On black I use Soverign
 
cuts that crap right off, if the paints not faded off. and its just oxidation.

then it makes it look better then new.

this pic is from when i first buffed my car, you can see clearly where i stopped with the buffer, even shined up the tail light.
