Try using clay bar on the glass also. Use a quality glass cleaner and lint free microfiber and you shouldn't see marks. You'd be surprised how dirty the glass really is.

clay is good stuff on glass, also try RainX. that thing has some werd (strong) cleaning agents.

I tried the clay, didn't do much,

you know what was most effective?

a ******* newspaper. roll it up and rub hardcore.

they don't sell rainX here well I never seen it atleast.

I am impressed with the clay bar. never used one before, nobody here knows about them. car is smooth as hell now.

everything I bought was meguiars.

meguiars Gold class car wash & conditioner
meguiars smooth surface clay kit
meguiars gold class liquid wax.

going to try the not liquid wax(forgot what its called) when this bottle is empty.

there are different abrasive levels of clay. some are softer than others.

try magic eraser on your glass then. it's a foam polish. im sure your mom has it in the kitchen for her dishes and stove tops? DONT use it on paint though. :)

wtf is magic eraser :roflpuke2:

stove tops? we are cooking magnets bro.

also dishwasher :roflpuke2:

Why have you had a third set of shocks changed?
How well is it if you have an oil cooler kit installed? Being the theromstatic plate extendes out a little further.

Ordered vanity plates today.
Massachusetts has the worst limits on what you can put on them..

"Numbers cannot be used in the middle of a plate; they must come at the end.
The first number cannot be a "0".
The letters "I", "O", "Q", and "U" can ONLY be used as part of a word that is clearly defined and correctly spelled.
No spaces are allowed.
All plates must start with at least two letters.
They may contain a maximum of six characters."



UGH

What did you actually come up with then? Or did I miss it?

Last night.. DYI project.

Rustproofed my undercarriage. If you guys take a look underneathe your car, you will certainly see corrosion started to form on the flanges which bolt the exhaust to the mid pipe, and possible other components..

My exhaust flanges were turning orange. I went to the dealer and wanted to know if this is normal for a car with less than 700 miles bought two months ago. and they said 'yeap, we know. It's common. It is what it is'. It's only surface corrosion. Classy response from the dealer :(


I did some research online and chatted w/ other car guys. I went to a autoparts store, got the rustoleum flat black rust protectant. No primer needed. Got the car in the garage, slipped underneathe, and sprayed the corrosive parts. I put on two coats, dried in about 45 minutes completely. this morning checked out the results.. looks mucccccccch better.. Maybe it's me, but, I can't stand the fact i was seeing orange corrosion on a new car, and likelihood it would be getting worse, not a good thought..

I don't have an oil cooler installed so I cant really comment on that but I don't think it would be much of a problem especially with a strap wrench. Off the car I didn't think the trap door was large enough but once I installed it I could see it gave plenty of access and the door is completely removable.

Drove it to work.

I drove my Z to work today, too. Now I'm looking out the 3rd floor window admiring her as the sun goes down.

Its outside??? :shakes head:

My username :) But I wish I could have had a space before the D

I can see where they are coming from. Can't have people running around with plates that are hard to read like "OU1LLIQ" or "ILLUQ1O".
In Germany, they use special fonts to make sure that the letters are easy to read and cannot be altered by the plate holder:
