Good Morning.

Morning.

Well, got home at 2, started to clay the Cobra. Got done with the roof and my stupid ass dropped the clay!!!!  Of course the local paint store closed at noon today, so I had to suffer with the  OTC variety.  Nobody had any Mothers, so I had to tuogh it out with the Clay Magic stuff.  WTF!!!????  Talk about a piece of s h i t!!!!  Don't ever use this stuff, it's worthless. 

Called my buddy at a local dealership.  His paint man had just the clay I was looking for.  Drove 30 minutes to pick it up.  Get home, clay away. 

Started on the second coat of polish about 2 hours ago.  Couldn't hack the bugs anymore so I called it a night.  On to the waxing in the morning.

The things we do for the ones we love.

I just finished claying/polishing/waxing my car the other day. Don't have any pics though. Whats the best way to get bugs off after you just finished detailing the hell out of your car? After I got home that night my front end was full of bugs.

And river moths off of the windshield? Just a good glass cleaner?

And sap from trees? Just little flecks here and there that you really, really have to pick at.

moths= razor blade

Sap= "ooops" / " Goo gone"?

Supa's on a good page there. I always use a razor blade to clean the exterior glass. Just habit. It's works very well. Unfortunately, I have very hard water at my hose and about every 2 years have to polish the glass because it gets this nasty film that looks like gasoline and water mixed. You know, the kinda weird yellow/blue/purple ripple.

As for the bugs, I wouldn't use anything like the goo gone or any of that crap. IT WILL remove the wax and polish you just worked so hard to apply. Take some carwash concentrate and rub it on by hand. Be generous here. Let it sit for about 20-30 minutes, then take a small amount of carwash and water mixed and you're washmitt or sponge and agitate it. Should safely remove all the bugs and still leave the polish and wax intact.

Oh, for rinsing, I take a pitcher and pour the water on that area only to avoid wetting the rest of the car, or just wash the whole damn thing anyways.

Hello, My visitor just left.

The grandparents are in town this weekend and I leave on Sunday for Seattle, only to return on Tuesday.

visiting adire?

Not gonna get to

lameeeee

Not my fault

i dont like driving around seattle. it's confucius.

You all know I was looking into a new car, and was pretty set on a luxury / 4 door / cruiser.

Today I drove a 6spd V6 Accord ... and to be completely honest, I'm really starting to wonder if all of these other vehicles I'm looking at are really worth that extra $10 - $20K.

Poker anyone?

uhmm, i would but im waiting for my friend to finish work so i can pick up a 4700 from BB

Ask an MB or BMW owner to do the same and get their opinion. Then try out 5 year-old models of each brand and see if the differences are still minimal.

Id rather have a car that only a certian amount of people have

I can obviously feel, see, hear, and smell a difference between the C55AMG and the V6 Accord. $25, 000 extra is a huge amount to fork over when I had fun driving the Accord. The MB is still right on top of fun to drive, but I got a similar feeling in the Accord, that's all.

I'd never get the Accord for that exact reason.

Was just my observation. It's neat to get pulled back in your seat accelerating from 40mph to 75mph in a 4 door family car under $30, 000.

I know a car that can do that.

Well under $30,000

Its faster than the accord too, but its not the nicest looking thing

srt4?

as for quick 4doors under 30k, you could check out the lancer evo or wrx.
