Monthly Sonic Meet - Sept 2nd

Through careful scientific study and deliberation, it has been decided that an additional Mid-Ohio Motoring "meeting" was needed. So, a monthly meeting at the Polaris Sonic on the first Wednesday of every month was declared.
The event has been added to the Mid-Ohio Calendar.


So... Who is coming?

I might be able to come up with the fam. I washed my car this weekend and am avoiding taking it out until I can get it claybared and waxed so we would be Subaruing it.

Sounds awesome. As long as I can get "luckie" cleaned up clayed and waxed, we'll be there, well I'll be there, Thu has evening class this Wednesday. But I'll need something to do, lol.

Hey rigid....is there specifics on the auto clay bar or would any typical clay work? I've got some from Mini, but it smells just like regular "art class" clay.

I find Ohio's soil has sufficient clay content just grab a handfull and some speed shine and rub it all over your car

Griots Garage is my claybar supplier of choice, just remember you drop it you pitch it, nothing worse than rubbing contaiminants into your paint.

Best bet is to get some fresh road apples to do the paint treatment. An Amish secret, but now you know how they get that gloss on them buggies.

Allen, I no longer tape. I apply some Wizards Black on all trim before waxing poetically. Once done waxing I wipe off the excess Wizards Black. Any stray wax will wipe right off.

I still use tape to pull the hair off my legs, beats shaving them.

Waxing is all done looks nice in the evening light, but I might need to take a brake from eating tots tomorrow night to remove some stray wax.

Hey all

Just added NM Engineering springs and 22 mm rear sway bar to the car. HSport lower control arms in the rear were also added.

Did it all myself and painted the brake calipers while I was at it too.

Look forward to seeing you at Sonic Wed.

Doug
