that looks like something the Husker Boys would drive up and down the streets out there in Cornville, and try to sell ears of corn similar to the Good Humor Ice cream trucks in more populous areas like real cities across the USA......................
Just got done cleaning up little chit. Tried out this new formula from Meguiar’s that offers maximum polymer protection in the convenience of an aerosol spray.
This stuff is awesome, I don't ever see using anything else. So easy even a widebody GS'r could do it without working up a sweat...
I use the regular spray version of that stuff, but dropping off the csr for paint correction and ceramic Monday so I don't have to anymore. Just good ol filtered water.
They say that admitting you have a problem is the first step in getting better.
I have a problem.
I didn't do the full detail on the car for our club's show because I wasn't there. That and it was up on stands waiting for the Brake kit to come in. So last weekend, I took full advantage of the extra day to do the full cleaning wash, clay bar, chip touch up paint, polish and then paint sealant. So yesterday I thought that I didn't get the front valance completely wiped so I went down to take care of that.
Remembered that I wanted to address the roof squeak. Did that. Looked and the smudges I put on it taking off the top and putting back on. Need to take care of that then I thought about a coat of wax. Nah. Which pads on the buffer, I like the small one for the rear hatch not the big one. But hey, I have the hand applicator right here and the Buttery Wax is easy.
Next thing I know, I'm covered in sweat after doing a full wax, by hand then buffing it off.
I need help
The Wheels could use something and then tires need to be dressed.

That's the exact reason why I ceramic every car now, I hate doing that ****. That's time to be spent driving it.
...I snipped my own with a kit I got on the internet.......worked well I think....may have got carried away......but the mirror kept falling.......
What the hell is ceramic.....? do they have to bake the car in the car oven? also what is a paint correction......who messed it up......I have a lot of questions.......
Hell all I use is Chadwick's Triple play....... easy and the car shines like a diamond and the chrome is so bright it is like neon..... glows in the dark kinda...... spray on wipe off and be amazed...... I amaze myself quite often.....just ask my wife......
Did you read about my close encounter with a new hard top Meeaaataaa Big R? I almost kinda liked it...... the hard top roof stores away like on a 57 Ford Fairlane with the retractable top...... most impressive.......
got to go practice my launches now in my race car......... oh yeah.....

I did read that, forgot to comment...
Yes, it's the RF Miata (retractable fastback) kinda reminds me of a C3 in it's styling.
Sounds like the new 19 Miatas getting a few more ponies. From 155 all the way to 185....

Yes, it's a silica based paint sealant that is heat cured to the surface. Makes stuff like tar and honey bead on the surface, at least the good systems do. And they last 7-10s for a good system. I'm dropping mine monday. I'll show the before and after

don't let H1 kid you Shaolin...………….
he saw my red rocket last summer out in the Black Hills of SD.....
did the paint correction (polishing to remove any "defects") and then applied Adam's Ceramic Coating to the paint and trim about a year ago now………..
stays very clean and shiny, and it is much easier to keep it clean..
only washed it with water twice in the last year...………
use "Waterless Wash" spray and some microfibers and it can be done in about 30 minutes tops...………..

This stuff is awesome, I don't ever see using anything else. So easy even a widebody GS'r could do it without working up a sweat...
And as a bonus it's under $12.00 on Amazon.
Sorry, but I can work up a sweat just thinking about working up a sweat. I would sweat when applying that stuff when it was 60 degrees and I was in the shade, with a 20 mph breeze.....
Me, too, craneman. Up here in WA we get about 3 feet of rain per year so I filter all the water coming off the roof (down the downspout...once I get the itsy bitsy spider out) with cheese cloth and wash my car with that. I think my cheese cloth is medium cheddar. I tried limburger cheese cloth and it made the car stink. Oh, well.
Move along folks, nothing to see here...
I finally got around to mounting my sideskirts
I did not get my mud flaps mounted because this is how they showed up, after 3 passes of wet sanding amd buffing them I could still ser thr blemishes and they're going back. I do kinda like the look without the flaps though.

looks real nice Shaolin..................
even without the mud flaps, the side skirts alone will keep stones ane debris from flying up and potentially damaging the paint on the rear quarters in the vent area..........
Ruxxy, that last picture you posted kind of looked like the GS'ers that were running the Nebraska 1/2 Mile last summer trying to keep up with the baser car that ran away from at least H1.........
if I recall correctly, the patron's here from the great state of WA were going to a show event this upcoming weekend..........
those of us not there have one request.................
pictures or it didn't happen.................
have a great start to your day Hamsters...................
I do have to admit that Rocketman's 427 is one fine piece of an all American car...... nothing I don't like about it....... and Shao has a GS that is all about wide pride.... love that car also.....Free Pappy's in the upstairs bar and an hour in the Tranquility room..... on the house....
the anticipated Father Son mega race will not happen this year..... I believe both are heading to a Family reunion.....this weekend and will not attend the Shootout....nuts..... I do not know that Jr's car was ready anyway..... he is waiting for a tune.......
gotta go now...... keep the peace my brothers......
