Copy all and thanks for the tipper. I did also get the CP MultiX Cleaner Concentrate to get after the tires b/f 'going in for the kill' :ninja:. I am lucky enough to have an endless supply of DI water from my Simple Chuck. Co-founded the system back in '16 along with a soap that could be used...

Got diarrhea of the American Express card and hit Autogeek up for the gallon of CP Reset and CP BlackOut Tire and Rubber coating (their 25% off sales rock...Happy St Patty's Day). Might as well go all the way with the nano products and see how well it lasts on the tires (of course, after I...

They never bothered me…until you mentioned it. Thanks…again…😁 It’ll keep me busy at the car show if I get bored although I am sure I will get the same looks my neighbors give me when I polish the exhaust tips with a Powerball…

Shout out in advance to the gray beards and savvy aficionados of all things *clean and swirl free* who helped propel my car care technology to the 21st century (or in tech speak, I just tossed my flip phone in the campfire...stby for interesting flames from the fire pit lol). I cut my teeth on...

Went on a ceramic binger after diving into the SiO2 water bong...hit 3 sets of wheels in the barn and got two sets of big Reds taken care of. Jury is out on the durability once they see glow-rotor heat, but the CarPro DLUX is 'heat resistant'. We'll see but I'm sure they'll stay cleaner in the...

Popped my ceramic application cherry...did a paint decontamination, 2 stage paint correction, and laid down some CarPro CQ.UK, Skin on the PPF and vinyl stripes, and DLUX on the plastic trim. Taking liberty with 'what I did today'...took 3 days to get 'er done. The ceramic was no different...

Yeah...there's something just a bit off when the neighbors walk by and see you sticking a spinning foam ball up your cars tailpipe and 'working it'...the results are quite spectacular but I've learned it's best for all if I keep the garage door closed for this facsimile of a colonoscopy for my...

I recently joined the Blue Oval Club with an '18 350. I've not driven the 500 but considering adding one to the stable. Hawked a '20 on BaT with 1,500 miles that hammered at $78k this morn. So add $9k for the CFTP + BaT fees and you're hovering around $90k. Do you have photos of the car that you...

Well...it is your thread so you have carte blanche to take it anywhere you wish...and I have no problem whatsoever listening to that CSL intake aboard one of the most sought after unicorns in the car world. I had to part ways with an '05 IB ZCP slick top/manual seats with Brembos and a Dinan...

Woodford Reserve usually keeps my rightys tighty though on occasion it's made this nut a little loosey (but def not lefty lol). I thought that if I could pull a 502 BBC, put new aluminum heads on and degree a hotrod cam, that dropping the splitter would be no problem. And I'm sure it isn't as...

What’s the best diy thread? I feel like the Ford engineers intentionally designed the fastening mechanisms to drive a man to drink…

Affirmativo. Concur on the magic of the S54 inline 6. Not as sexy perhaps as the symphony from the FPC 5.2, but they were able to wrangle 4% more ponies per liter than Ford’s 5.2. And I am probably an anomaly when it comes to SMG…this being my 3rd as it gives the car more personalities than a...

Got introduced to DFB5.0 on my post asking same about vinyl stripes and oh what a rabbit hole I've fallen down...my shop cabinet of detailing supplies was already bulging at the hinges and now I've found myself wedging in new discoveries that are turning out to be great products allowing me to...

After decades of my head under a hood, came across a nice LED hood option from Home Depot. LiteStix from Bendpak. Mag mountable (on steel hoods lol) or clamp on with a padded light bar. Maybe not a direct 350 mod/repair, but it certainly will facilitate all future work on all these ponies!

Thanks for the kind words Men and while I agree on the factory wheels being THE S550 wheel, they can also be repurposed as a yacht anchor! 35 lbs a piece AND made in China...YGTBSM. It really didn't hit me until I leaned in on the forged wheels on the GT-3 and cleaned/coated 'em. They were...

Curious how many miles before the struts started leaking.

Damn. That's an impressive effort and new to these parts so I'm not familiar with your car setup WRT safety features. Not sure I'd have the gorilla balls to dive into NASCAR 3 in a production car with a hoop roll bar. I've done a lot of time on the west coast tracks but we always ran the...

@DFB5.0 and @kilobravo a quick note of thanks for the steer to the Sonax and CarPro polishes. I was able to get the black car to where I wanted it (sans any correction swirls) and while the dustless element of the polishes is very nice, the fact that I got near the end of the job b/f realizing...

Jumping into the coating world and nabbed some CarPro DLux for the wheels and calipers. Pulled ‘em, scrubbed ‘em, clayed ‘em, IPA’d ‘em, then (finally) sealed the deal. Fronts, barrels, and calipers. Did a single coat and it took approx 6ml of the 30ml bottle. We’ll see how it holds up. Pix and...

Solid sled you have there. Has my gears turning…how to convince the Mrs that I need her garage spot for another car…or hell, why not go for broke and tell her I’m selling her car so she won’t need that garage spot anymore 😏
