Ended up not taking the car to Rasky in Shakopee. My front isn't done, and my car was in NO condition to drive 45 minutes with no front bumper or headlights...

Good call about the drive to chicago. Thing is, I got to thinking about our road trip to NC and FL. I'm thinking about going to wait to pay that much to have my car wetsanded and detailed until AFTER that road trip.

Gonna go by sat and wet sand and buff and head over to fifth gear. Now I see why body shops charge so much to install these things. Fanagled the side skirts and they are fitting pretty good now.

Fiberglass is seriously harassing me right now. Took a long sleeve shirt but never put it on an now im paying the price.

Plan is to work on Dans ride then throw on my exhaust @ First Gear on Sat. Who else is going?
I'll meet you guys around 2-2:30 at First gear tomorrow. I'll get out of here(work) asap, usually around 130, run home change and be on my way.

ehhhhh, that's a lot more then I thought.

I just used some Maguiar's Show Car Glaze #7, I will most likely pick up some Poor Boy's Black Hole stuff soon and some SSR1 for the day I DO get some swirls I stuck with the basic Gold Class Carnauba Wax, Since I have the time and ability to wash it weekly and wax it monthly I don't really care. But I will pick up some Poor Boy's sealant soon too so I can keep it nicer longer. Keeping it in great shape definitely starts ASAP! :-D

I'm going to get my Sway Bars installed Monday night, otherwise it will be in the Garage until we leave for Chicago! I will do a quick detail on it Friday afternoon and then tape up the front of her before Lance gets here and we can roll down to Chicago Do another detail and bring some supplies from work with me for the weekend to do some touch ups here n there.

I haven't been on other ppls walls as of lately. I just wanted to point out that I TOO will be watching it very closely. Looks to be another beautiful vehicle.

For the record I helped my 2nd friend this week detail their vehicle. Just a basic wash n wax since they were short on time, helps to make some extra money above and beyond bby I didn't even bother to log in or do much when I got home last night. I guess I should just stop posting stuff since everything I'm doing is already known about, the AMG motor in the new G coupe....

I just turned it to a no flash mode, it's an 8 point star filter. Looks like this when you hit something shiny. The sun was in a PERFECT location for most of my pics

Yeah Lance, the rear is worse than I thought once the detail was done. Paint on the bumper is poor quality and a bad job. Bottom of bumper wasn't even sanded or had clear put on. The trunk is out of alignment slightly and there is a small crack in the paint there where some rust is starting. I'm going back today to see if they can at least fix it. Carfax was clean when I bought it, but now it shows up as damage found at auction.
