Believe it or not, I found a spot that I didnt clean (yet) this week...





...you guessed it - the inside of the exhaust tip. Nice & clean now, no more black carbon build up.

Forecast has occasional T-Storms Saturday & Sunday. I am looking forward to a quick ride on Saturday morning & some pictures in the sun!

Keeping it in the garage protected from the constant rain will only give you more time to find even more nooks and crannys that you've missed. LOL!

Hopefully the weather will let up a little bit so you can get some quick sunny shots and post them up. Maybe you can start a jigsaw puzzle or something while you're waiting for the sun. Hahaha.

How does the wind deflector work?

The deflector on my wifes Audi works great, but you have to have it to ride with the windows down.

The G isn't as bad.

Is it work the $ to get?

Looks great man!! I would really like to get the deflector as well, but with my 3 year old son's booster seat in the back it won't fit. Ugh, oh well.

It is totally awesome!

Without the deflector there isn't much buffeting but with the deflector and windows up it is practically like having the top up.

I picked up my deflector new on eBay for like $350 delivered. Haven't seen a deal like that in a while...

So I just discovered another byproduct of the massive detailing efforts ...

I just washed my car for the first time & the water beaded like crazy & the wash took a whopping 10 minutes as the filth-muck just slid right off. Even a spot of bird poop rinsed right off during just the wetting process with the hose. I barely had to dry it because the water slid right off - a quick California Water Blade & she was practically done.

I think the finish looks even more shiny now!
