OK, here is our new summer chat about stuff thread, where we can just yak about stuff, let each other know what's up, and hassle Ken

why me?

 

well, i guess i'll be having a busy weekend cause...

1) Sat 7am start:
remove rusted/busted bolts off my FitS's 3month old aftermarket
swaybar to try the car with just the coilover setup. it's a torsion
beam sus. also fine tune the heights and take picts for my fellow
fitfreakers. got my new low profile drill this morning.

then wash the Legacy on the driveway (woohoo~!) in the afternoon.


2) Sunday
motoring.... then motor some more... and then detail the insides of
my commuters.

 

oh wait, im going to QD/SprayOn wax my MCS as well. it's
spotted right now.

 

I did a QDing to both MINIs yesterday. What I really need to get around to is doing a MAJOR interior detailing on the Cabrio.

If we needed a reason for everything we did, we would not be OCDers

lotsie- i wanted to ask (i know you already mentioned it somewhere)...
when you cleaned your a/s floor matts, did you use 50/50 simple green
to water and soaked them for xx min , or did you use a stronger solution?

 

well, i am the Ken of Hydro. (that doesnt make any sense).

 

My normal Simple Green mix is 50/50, thats what I used on the mats. I let it soak while I wash/dry the car, say 10-15 minutes, scrub with cheapo MF, rinse, then spray with 303, let that sit a couple of minutes, wipe down, done

 

I really don't *want* to, but I think I am going to polish this weekend. I need to wax, so whatever, I guess.

I hate polishing, it makes my body hurt.

 

I have a parade and a car show (my first EVER) on Saturday... so I'm probably cutting work tomorrow afternoon and doing a quick(?) clay/bw/swirl/amigo/epic job... I'm tired just thinking about it...

 

ahh~! thanks for the info, lotsie. guess i'll do PrimaNero
at the very end with a 50/50 mix with water and wipe down.



i was aching pretty bad mon, tues this week since i was wrenching
on my car 8am-7pm with a 15min break last sun. it was fun and all, but
i found out i was TERRIBLY out of shape. gotta get back to our
detailing taebo with octaneguy.

 

My elbows always KILL after a day of polishing.

 

are you doing the detailing taebo in double time?

 

This weekend I'm looking forward to a complete detail of my MINI! Inside and out, pulling seats, all that fun stuff. I will be sure to take lots of pictures

 

Working all weekend, so no detailing here, may do the Cabrio interior tomorrow though.

Pull the seats...oy...

 

hey, did DP ever come out with their boot quick detailing kit for BCE?

 

I think Heather said the other day that they were still waiting on the bags?

 

i see... are they going to offer smaller spray bottles?

 

I thought she said the bottles were $$$.

I could be wrong though, you know me and my memory.

I made my own - I bought a bunch of the mini spray bottles from DP, and the LE Prima bag, and threw everything needed for a lil mobile kit and it fits right in the left side behind-the-panel spot

 

cool! i kinda wanted those official Prima stickers on my bottles though...

wonder if DP can make those instead so we can mark our own bottles?

It just needs to be like this in a nice circle.

Dagdoublenabbit! Frikkin ChiliCrapperJet. And ken hung up the DND sign... and I DARE NOT violate that... Grrrrr....

You win this round, my friend. But just wait.... my revenge will be sweet.

 

I just use the little DP spray bottles and a sharpie. Low tech. All in the end pocket of my boot duffel that also holds my compressor/slime/plug kit, microfibers, jumper cables, and a few other necessities... don't need a new bag... or bigger bottles (I carry double little bottles of Slick and Clarity)...

 

man, you are like psycho. then instantly
