ArmyAcadia09 Posted July 13, 2013 Share Posted July 13, 2013 Washed a car for a lady my wife works with. Pulled some black water out of the carpet, washed a motor that hadn't been washed in 7 yrs and paint that looked sap and black overspray covered wasn't too bad though. All the problems surrendered to Adam's Captain Slow 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chewy Posted July 14, 2013 Share Posted July 14, 2013 Never really looked into what it really does.. Worth it? Yes! Keeps oil from coating your intake, TB, and heads. You'd be amazed how much oil's in there. Norton 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Norton Posted July 14, 2013 Share Posted July 14, 2013 Yes! Keeps oil from coating your intake, TB, and heads. You'd be amazed how much oil's in there. I run one on my Shelby as well. When I drained it yesterday, at about 2K miles since I last did so, I got 1-2 ounces of oil out of it. That's 1-2 ounces LESS oil coating my intercooler...

Norton Posted July 14, 2013 Share Posted July 14, 2013 (edited) As for what I did today... My wife and I spent the morning at a Colorado Shelby Breakfast Club event. We gathered at The Ridge at Castle Pines for photos, breakfast, and a bit of car/club talk. We left there at mid-day for a ~30 mile cruise on the scenic back roads to The Rock House Ice Cream Shop in Palmer Lake. All-in-all, a very enjoyable time with fellow Shelby enthusiasts. (Please pardon my lack of photo-stitching skills in the attached.) Additional pics of the cars in attendance are located here.

LFairbanks Posted July 14, 2013 Share Posted July 14, 2013 Spent 11 hours between airplanes and airports. Must say that the hard water deposits on the drivers window are horrible and the humidity seems to gravitate to it, making it difficult to see in the dark.

randyfox Posted July 14, 2013 Share Posted July 14, 2013 Yesterday I began cleaning up the Weld Pro Stars on the 55 so I could polish them. These things were a perfect candidate for DWC. I was blown away. I am going to make a thread for the finished products, but here's a pic of me cleaning one of the front wheels.

Captain Slow Posted July 14, 2013 Share Posted July 14, 2013 Gave a big check to the local HVAC repair guy to fix my 14 year old A/C unit . They're a union shop so just showing up on a Sunday starts the meter at $150.00. I think I'll tell my girls to go to trade school... On a plus note the house is nice and cool and the repair guy was very nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joffems Posted July 14, 2013 Share Posted July 14, 2013 Pressure washed my parents patio. Sadly, it gets this dirty every year. 50/50 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JHL88 Posted July 14, 2013 Share Posted July 14, 2013 Never really looked into what it really does.. Worth it? it's def. worth it. when I had my LS3 camaro every oil change i would also drain my catch can and i would have anywhere from 1-4 oz. of oil that would have otherwised been sucked through the intake manifold.

LFairbanks Posted July 14, 2013 Share Posted July 14, 2013 Got up before anybody woke up and did grocery shopping for the week. Then spent the day just hanging out and planning what to do with the week. Vacation we typically don't have a plan, just come up with it when we get there. Spent a couple hours with my kid in the pool. Getting older and bigger and thought he could take dad down in the pool. All a good time. Now just researching where to park and visit certain attractions. crowvet 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LFairbanks Posted July 15, 2013 Share Posted July 15, 2013 (edited) Sitting on the porch here reading various things on the computer enjoying my cup of coffee. Funny how it doesn't matter where in the world I'am I still wake up at the same time in that time zone without an alarm clock. And haven't used an alarm clock at home in years.

Chewy Posted July 15, 2013 Share Posted July 15, 2013 PITA to install? Takes 30 minutes max!!! My RAM took probably 30 minutes, but that's because I was messing around trying to figure out why they said the spacer they sent me was needed. I didn't use it... lol Yesterday I polished and sealed HALF of the RAM. Tonight I do the other half, and tomorrow I get to drive it again! lol I haven't driven it since LAST Tuesday. I've been too busy to get the polishing and sealing done and I didn't want to drive it until it was done. Tint goes on the front windows tomorrow.

Captain Slow Posted July 15, 2013 Share Posted July 15, 2013 I woke up to clear skies which has made for slow fishing so instead I got out the buckets and gave Mamas's TBSS a much needed bath. I followed up with a Detail Spray wipedown. She's all pretty and shiny sitting in the driveway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
08G8V8 Posted July 16, 2013 Share Posted July 16, 2013 Did a strip wash on the G8 using my Karacher pressure washer and foam cannon for the first time. I've had both for awhile, but never got around to usoing them. I used the Spray Sealant for the first time tonight as well. The car will be spending some nights outside soon when the Sierra gets pulled into the garage to poilish with the recently purchased Cyclo and Flex with the new polshes. I didn't fog the panels, just applied directly to the pads. It's hard to tell coverage, so hopefully I got a good application on. But, seems really easy to apply and remove. Need to get more.....
