for BW, i use the KIWI shoe polish foam applicators. works GREAT!

 

I also use a foam pad to apply BW. I keep it and the bottle in a zip-lock bag, that way the pad stays charged with the product. I find it important to rub down areas I have applied BW to with some vigour.

Ken, did you post something about a MP3 player

Oh, and Ken, who/how much were those seat backs from?

Mark

 

seatbacks? what seatbacks?



got them from outmotoring.com for ~$70 a piece.

 

Just got my DDMWorks stainless IC diverter... which I'm gonna paint red and black and install this weekend... haw haw haw haw...

 

i got my FitS's factory coin holder. RAR RAR RAR!

 

Sweet coin holder.... if coin holders turn you on...

I just finished spraying my DDM diverter... it's gonna look SICK... nice two-tone red and black scheme... it's taking all my self control to keep my hands off it tonight for the paint to set... because my basic instinct is to bolt it on as soon as it's dry enough to touch... which I've done many times.... and I botch the paint every time....

I used the spray-on Dupli-color caliper paint... seems to be good stuff... flows out and looks like powder coat... I used the brush-on Dupli-color caliper paint on my engine/tranny mounts and damper, and it seems to be holding up well so far... all the colors seem to match pretty well... good enough for me, anyway.... pics forthcoming...

 

yah, duplicolor makes good stuff. i use their engine enamel on my hub centers, matte black mufflers, etc. they last a LONG time.

 

Talking about long times... Looks like we might get some snow early tomorrow am. Might be a good time to pull out my FitS for the morning drive.

 

pulled out my FitS for the morning drive. also installed the factory
LEGOman urinal coinholder. (as my wife called it ) it took
literally no more than 30sec with no tools.

also cleaned the wheels on my MCS tonight to prep it for Monday's
morning drive...given that it's dry.

im expecting my G's dustcover to arrive from griot's supplier later on
next week. hope to have it soon before snow starts. i HATE it when
snow powder blows all over my car when i open the garage door.



also my STD's are suppose to arrive later on next week as well.

 

TMI Ken..

My DP goodies were delivered yesterday and Geoffrey got a good bath this morning.

 

hahaha...

sounds good that geoffrey got his deserving bath, leslie.

 

OK...so I used Griot's Spray-On Car Wash today...I was not quite sure how things would turn out, but I have to say I am astonished at the results. Molly is Clean and Shinny and so Beautiful!!

 

sounds good RJ! it's good stuff.

 

looks like a dry day today...means, G will see some motoring time.

 

damn you ken. i just added the griot's spray on car wash to my amazon wishlist. i love how they have the "universal wish list" button that allows you to add items that aren't offered on amazon.

of course i had to add the refill kit too.

 

I'm spending the day in the attic, bathroom, and basement, finally getting around to finishing the electrical work in the bathroom.

you're not buying it direct from Griot's? I sent out my Griot's
wishlist to santa(wife) the other day. if you dont have many
already, get a bunch of MF towels to use the Spray-On CarWash.

their green towels is fantastic (given that you remove the tag completely
off the towel BEFORE use ). it's thicker than DP's platinum but
thinner than the MonsterFluffy so it's easy to use.

for QD i still prefer DP's Platinum.

handyman you are.


so it ended up kinda wet with flurries so i motored my FitS this am.
was kinda fun.

 

I'm sure Santa will get it directly from them.

And I have more MF towels than I can count. Geoffrey has more towels than I do!

 

Well as one of my heroes, Red Green, always says, " If they don't find you handsome, they might as well find you handy"

Those Griot's green towels look about the same as the DP starfish mitts...

 

For Drying I just purchased DP's Waffle Weave Drying Towels, I was using Griot's Dimplet Synthetic Chamois, but learned it was hard on the wrists from having to wring it out during use and difficult to care for.

 

hahaha... i guess im neither then.
but im a good chef.



with the DP waffle weaves you wont have to wring the towel.
be sure to wash it first before use. those are awesome towels.
ask ML. she's the "ken of waffleweaves."

leslie- yah, for some reason my cars have more towels and utensiles
than me. how come?

 

if DP made green starfish mitts it we should call it wasabi.

 

*crickets*




ordering some SK torx screwdrivers. i have the sockets but
sometimes the sockets are too huge to fit inside my MCS's interior
bits.

 

looks like my dust cover is here.
