JGiardino89 Posted November 7, 2013 Share Posted November 7, 2013 Hey everyone, Just wanted to introduce myself as I finally took the plunge into the Adams world fo detailing after using almost everything. First products I tried and got me hooked were the All Purpose Spray and Buttery Wax. Both amazing products. So easy to use and do an amaziing job with such little effort. Here are my cars As of now they both have a few coats of Buttery Wax on them. I just ordered another $200 worth of detailing products to seal up the GTO before the winter hibernation and protect my Saab from the salt and grime of the winter. Picked up my '99 9-5 SE V6 for $500. New radiator, Valve cover gasets, spark plugs, sprak plug tube seals, DICs, exhaust, oil change, K&N air filter, fuel filter, a 10 hour detail session (Meguiars Wash, 3M clay bar, DeWault rotary with 3M tan pad, 3M compound, Meguiars wash again, then DeWault rotary with 3M grey polish pad and 3M dark colors polish, finished with Adam's Buttery Wax ) and she's road worthy again. Still needs a few things, (New badges, wheels refinished, Have a new ribbon cable to the SID on the way) but I can pick away at them slowly. I call her Penelope. I am not sure of the actual name of this color. Saving her from my teacher's driveway. Jumpstart with my GTO. She was dirty... After the detail explained above. Still need to do the carpets, Haven't had time to shampoo them. New fog light in the mail... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JGiardino89 Posted November 7, 2013 Author Share Posted November 7, 2013 (edited) And here are some of my GTO, my pride and joy. I also do some amateur photography as a hobby with my DSLR, have to take pictures of the clean cars ! If you are in the Northern, MA area and want some photos of your car, let me know !

mc2hill Posted November 7, 2013 Share Posted November 7, 2013 First off - Welcome Joe! Nice turnaround on Saab, and those pictures are great! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marylander Posted November 7, 2013 Share Posted November 7, 2013 Man, that's a steal for $500! But I'm not sure it's wise to call a Saab "Penelope"… that means "Faithful". Beautiful GTO, too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JGiardino89 Posted November 7, 2013 Author Share Posted November 7, 2013 post="400381" timestamp="1383839206"]First off - Welcome Joe! Nice turnaround on Saab, and those pictures are great! Thank you ! Man, that's a steal for $500! But I'm not sure it's wise to call a Saab "Penelope"… that means "Faithful". Beautiful GTO, too. Haha we'll see if she lives up to her name !! The gto is Leona And thank you ! Welcome Joe! I had a PBM M6 GTO a few vehicles ago, seeing yours makes me miss it a little! Thanks Nick ! I believe we spoke on the phone today because I forgot to add quick sealant and applicator pad to my order and didn't want to pay shipping twice. Thank you ! Your GTO was probably much cleaner than mine, 97k and two years of highway driving took its toll on the paint. Repaint soon !

JGiardino89 Posted November 11, 2013 Author Share Posted November 11, 2013 Bought mine from the original owner in June 2011 with 50k, now has 97k. Used to be my daily until I bought the saab. Has a lot done to it, just getting bored with it, maybe a Monaro bumper will cure that for a little haha. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IrishCurse Posted November 12, 2013 Share Posted November 12, 2013 How north is north? My family is from Milford and I was born in Worcester. Left in 1999 for the USAF and never went back to live anyway. Miss it, but expensive to live. I hope to one day go back. It really is where this cynical, up front guy belongs!

I used to live in Bellingham and hang out in Milford all of the time. It's probably a whole lot different than when you saw it last. Cynical and up front ? Definitely not from Worcester or Milford Thank you for serving and Happy Belated Veterans Day ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
