Car Wax
So, after hearing so much fanfare about Zaino's car car products, I've been in the market to buy a few Zaino products to wax my car. I ran across this very detailed test that a guy did on his black Porsche to test Zaino vs Meguiar's. I think I'll be picking up some Meguiar's before our drive to Stillwater this weekend

Are you going to do a clay bar throgh gloss, or just a wax?

When I first got the car, I bought Mothers (a victim of good marketing) Carnauba Wax. I used the dawn/clay bar/wax approach and was very disappointed with the results, or lack there of. Hopefully I'll be happier doing the whole thing again but with a better product this time. Should I re-clay bar since it was already done once or just wax over the Mothers?

I dont know about that. I washed the car lastnight thinking I would polish it tonight to be ready for Sunday and when I got home I had bug juice all over the front of it. That was a waste of time.

That stinks. I took mine to Moore last sunday and it didn't get too bad.
Are you all ready for sunday? The weather is looking awsome and we have a good group of cars coming.

Help!
Hey guys. I bought a Halltech intake and am trying to put it in this morning. I have all the stock stuff out and the MAF connected to the bridge but the filter that came with the intake doesn't fit my MAF. The guy I bought it from said it came off of his '98 vert so it should fit my MAF. My excitement for my first mod is turning into frustration! 
I tried calling a certain someone with a very loud, black C5 but it would seem he had too much fun last night cause his phone's turned off. I won't say Steve's name to protect his identity and innocence.

Is this what you have?
The bottom pic is what I have on my car.

I talked to Steve and did some measuring and it looks like the filter is for a Z06 or maybe an '01 and newer. All I need is an adapter or a new filter but trying to find one on a Saturday hasn't been fruitful.

From the pics in the other thread it looks like it was a great time. Still sorry I had to miss it.
Anyone free this Saturday during the day? Looks like it will be sunny and a high of 45 if the weather does what they're sayin it will.
If something is going on I'm game, if not I might take the morning to swap out my exhaust and take the wheels off and clean the barrels and wheelwells really good...
