0 mjhpadi Posted May 22, 2012 Share Posted May 22, 2012 Planning on going diving at Dutch Springs on Sunday and then watching a recorded telecast of the Indy 500...so shhhhh...don't tell me who won! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 dipolley Posted May 23, 2012 Share Posted May 23, 2012 Talked to te wife. The only plan I am obliged to make is going to Sonic for a burger and tots. Other than that, no idea. I may have to do a detail for a buddy who got his truck back today after it was stolen last Saturday. We'll see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 MAYBEN Posted May 23, 2012 Share Posted May 23, 2012 (edited) Well we just got our Engine back yesterday.. we're having a work detail on it Sunday morning which I won't be able to make it, so I will be working on the wheels tonight w/ MP1 and MP2.. This weekend my Parents are coming down to visit. On Saturday, my Dad and I will be working on the basement. Sunday, we have to move some of the furniture from the Shore House into our basement since my In-Laws dropped the ball(which we have no room for currently).. Monday I will be walking in our Memorial Day Parade.. Edited May 23, 2012 by MAYBEN fixed spelling and added BACK Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 bigaudiofanatic Posted May 23, 2012 Share Posted May 23, 2012 Well I discovered that it only takes 4 touch less car washes to strip my wax. So I will be doing FMP and sealant than maybe glaze and Americana. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Team Adam's Posted May 23, 2012 Author Share Posted May 23, 2012 Yea... those touchless chemicals have to be pretty harsh to get the job done without agitation. I've seen them take wax off completely in as little as 2 washes. Sealants hold up much better to detergents fwiw. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 LFairbanks Posted May 24, 2012 Share Posted May 24, 2012 Taking my kid to a huge air show this weekend. And then may spend the other two days cleaning up moms car. A little BBQ and relax. Big weekends like this I have found it best to just stay home. Hill Air Force Base - WarriorsOverTheWasatch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Kustom_FX Posted May 25, 2012 Share Posted May 25, 2012 Getting the SS back from bodyshop Thursday or Friday.. going to go over every square inch that they did not "touch" looking for overspray and what not. Need to finish post winter claying and polishing of it as well. Might install my fender stripes.. then maybe take some Top of the Page worthy pics.. Or I might just drink a lot of beer and bbq and nap like Mook.. we shall see.. UPDATE:: Got the SS yesterday and its FLAWLESS:thumbsup:! I was amazed at how well the did, blended the paint, cleaned it up.. they even buffed the whole thing and its not holograms and swirls.. (I took my super secret yellow lens glasses to inspect it). So since I cant wax it for 30 days I will be doing a Mookfest (Yes buckets of beers till I cant speak)!! :cheers: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 DemoN Posted May 25, 2012 Share Posted May 25, 2012 There's a monthly car meet Tomorrow morning (i'll start a thread after i get pics for yall!) and Hell-s1 has been seeing a weeks worth of road grim. so the rides gonna get a little cleaning. i'm thinking simple wash with a once over with MP#2, DS and some BG to shine her up. not a full detail...just something worthy of a car meet.
