The Adams wax will adhere fine over top of it. If you do not keep putting coats of wax over it it will most likely be gone in 6 months or so. My mom would not listen to me when she bought her Tribeca. I told her the paint protection from the dealer was probably over priced. After she got it home I convinced her to let me strip the dealer installed protection off of half of her hood and put on a coat of americana. Her car sits inside most of the time. I then left her car alone for about three months until one day she asked me after having her car parked at the grocery store in the rain why half her hood had beads of water and the rest did not. I told her that was where I applied the americana. After that she had me strip her whole car and go with a coat of Machine Super Wax. I do this every June or so and her car still beads and looks good the following June. Also her car stays inside and only sees about 10,000 miles a year mostly on nice days. I am not saying you would have the same results but a coat over the simoneze every few months or will keep a good layer of protection on there. I can tell you the clearcoat on her last two Subaru's was very easy to polish out.

The dewalt battery powered gun works well. We use one at the race track every weekend. It takes all four tires off of three modifieds all night. I do not know how it would work on lugs that have been stuck on for awhile though.

I would get a half inch impact gun for removing lugs. Torque sticks are a must. You can also get sockets with a plastic sleeve around the actual metal socket to protect from damaging your wheels.

I had know idea about your last name. The Carmel cashew does sound delicious though. I did not want to risk going out tonight as the roads down here in the boonies are pretty rough with today's snow.

Dan how was Kopp's tonight? You have me jonesing for some custard and I think I am going to have to get some in the next couple days.

My first car was a 96 bonneville. I still miss that car sometimes. It was given to me by my father when he bought a 2002 Escalade. Shortly after he bought the Escalade His company asked us to move to England. He went over six months before the rest of the Family did. He did not want the Escalade to sit so I drove it around. I thought I was baller then. I was a sophemore in High School at the time. After we came back from England the Tranny on the Bonneville went and I procured a 2001 Subaru Outback 6 cylinder. That thing was a beast. My brother has it now and it is still running strong. In this time period I also had a 2004 Mustang Mach 1 that was officially my brothers but I got to drive it more. Which leads to the first car I actually purchased. My current car the 09 G8 GT.

Nice Dan. Where you the guy in the Black vette behind me on 76th street last night south of Rawson. If you were you got to see my car at its worst. Dirty with a crooked exhaust tip. I am cleaning it and fixing the tip today and tomorrow though.

While I am thinking about it can you not wash your car until the end of next week? I am driving back to Wisconsin Wednesday or Thursday and would prefer not to have to go through a snowstorm again.

Are you getting your warning fingers ready?

I like these new updates. I have noticed a slight increase in questionable posts lately, they do go away quickly but I am on here all the time so I catch most things before there is time to delete them.

I agree with Rich. Go for t and you will not be dissappointed.

Don't we all? It is starting to get cold her in South Central PA.

Wow that looks rough Rich. Hopefully it will not flood again. Weren't you around for that flood in Johnstown a few years ago?

I know it will show up soon enough, but this morning I got soaked both going to and coming from class because it is pouring rain and 60 degrees.

Lucky you. I do not think I am going to ever see snow this year.

I was sneaky about it.

Here are a few more.

This is good guys here are a few more I have taken. Bonus Points if you can name the locations. I have a few more I will post. If I am posting too many let me know, or if you just want more of a specific place let me know. I am open to any suggestions. I have plenty more animal pictures if you want them.

I know there are some photography buffs on this forum. Lets make this the good non-car picture thread. Any pics that you take that you are just amazed by or want to share put in here. I will add some of mine as I have time to go through them again. I will say my skills and equipment are not as good as some of the others on here but who cares. Lets see some pics. Here is just one of mine. I took this in Egypt and was amazed at the level of detail in this pic.

Looks good.

Wow. That is an awesome garage.

I know I clean mine just about every time I wash the car. I never let it get too dirty then I do not need to do a full wash on it.

Cheater. Thats a new car.
