Drained the oil this morning, rerouted oil cooler lines to a better protected location, cleaned maf with maf cleaner and undid the o2 sensor connectors and maf connectors to give them a good cleaning with some qd electronics cleaner. Then installed new oil filter and refilled with 6 quarts of redline oil

I spent the day doing paint correction on the Z. NEVER AGAIN!

Wash:

B pillar before:

B pillar after:

Hood during (can see how bad it was. The rest of the car was this bad. Thanks previous owner)

Roof after:

Hood/car after (11 hours later):

And to whoever in a black 370 stopped by while I was doing this, you should have walked up! Sorry I didn't see you. I was in the zone haha and I was told "someone with your car only in black stopped outside but drove away"

Now time to pass out. I'm dead

BUT looks like you did yourself a good job. pat yourself on the back and get a nice cold one

Very true. Now that I think about it I wouldn't. Never let them(or anyone) work on my cars so I wouldn't let them detail my car. But thanks

I'll have a few

Thanks! It was a little bit of both. I was hoping just to use a polish but it didn't cut it on my test spot so I used a compound then polish to get ~98% of the imperfections out.

Wifey & I took a 3 hour round trip to see our son... 80% highway but, still good seat time with my lady(s).
