Drove the Z and cleannnnned.

Read T · 09-22-2013, 03:16 PM

On the Z: drove around with a boofsquire rack

On the Mog: Removed all wheels, dismounted tires, stripped wheels (plan to have them blasted and repainted). 155/15 tires came in

Replaced inner and outer front wheel bearings

Removed calipers and stripped 50 years of grime off them. Disassembled calipers for blasting and a rebuild.

Next is installing the full leather interior and replacing front seal.

Watched my front lip fly off on the highway...

I guess when I had a "spirited" run hitting 220 (km) that was too much for the lip and my bolt on job lol. I had slowed down to a normal type speed but i guess the damage was done...all my doing

bright side, when i came home and went into my garage, I didn't scrape lol

The other bright side you get to shop for a new lip

I use glass mf towels and use very small amount of WindowCleaner to do inside glass.

Doing glass is basically like 95% dependant on the towel.

Exterior glass I use decent amount of WindowCleaner.

That is very clever.

I'll let you know when I am done. But you have to come to me. Warm beer is fine as long as it hasn't spent time in the sun. Cold pizza is the reason microwaves were invented.

oh damn! I assume there is no GoPro footage?

Sorry to hear though. I don't have a front lip because I already have to be careful not to scrape on my driveway.

I finished detailing the Z including clay, two coats of Meguiar's Ultimate paste wax, and full interior with the exception of the following:

Tire and trim dressing (Super VRT due to arrive tomorrow)
Rear bumper clay and wax
Carpet cleaner for floor boards, hatch carpet, seats, and door panels.

damian_mb · 09-22-2013, 08:17 PM

My Z got dusty from the garage so I dusted if off, wax is still silky slippery....last time I drove it, 2 weeks ago.

She's happy being away from the harse elements. Meanwhile my WRX is loving this cool/cold weather.

Used Dr. Colorchip to get rid of few chips on the hood and fender.

2nd wash and wheel detail in 2 days. Put a little too much tire goo on the rears and nearly spun out leaving my development. Wacky SC.
Paid to have the interior detailed because I really hate doing it plus the kid at the carwash gets a kick out of pulling it around.
