hahaha 8 freaking hours?!?!?!?! **** that lol I've got so many scratches on my car, it's not even funny. I'll start and get pissed off and won't even care anymore. Everyone.........don't pay attention to details on my car. thanks. :D

man that would be sweet. i am soo gonna wash mine when we get there to. its knda pointless to spend all that time detailing before a road trip, if you dont wash the car when you get there. if you want me to bring anything speaical let me know, check out the last pic, on the first page of my cardomain to see what i mean.

Well I haven't waxed the car at all since I've purchased it. And the first time I washed her, I was sat in absolute HORROR at the amount of crap that was stuck in the paint. Rail dust, cigerette sparks and stains from jerks on the freeway, black splotches. You name it, its in the paint. Hence it took me FOREVER to clean out the crap. And I still have tons left over that will have to come out another time. Otherwise, I did the best I could.

I wish I woulda taken a picture of the claybar, it was BROWN from all the stuff that was coming up out of the paint. All in all, very worth it. And atleast I know the paint's protected from the elements on the road trip. If need be, i'll do it again when I get back. Otherwise I think it'll be fine. I posted up pics too a few pages back.

well maybe if i have a car, such as a GTO some day, it'll be worth spending that much time in cleaning the exterier. BUT I don't. It's only a GrandAm. And hopefully i'll be getting a new paint job this year, so i'm not gonna waste my time :) haha

why dont we just change the meet location to a DIY carwash?

what kind of wax did u use?

2001 Camaro Z-28 A4 car.

1st, I hate you people for having nice weather. It's kinda raining, 45 degrees or so here. Sucks.
2nd, I just went out to try and clean my car a bit... and it's dirty as HELL. I'm never going to get it even somewhat clean for this weekend. My engine bay has mud everywhere, the outside is dirt/mud on the bottom half, and the number of dents and rock chips make me want to cry. I seriously don't want to spend another dollar on this car after the springs and exhaust.
3rd- I finally broke out the struts I want to install on Friday... and damn, they look like they're from the 80's. lol

do you guys have carwashes up there? Maybe try one of those instead of breaking your back doing it yourself.

Yea, we do... but if I wash it today, it's just going to get muddy tonight. So what's the point?

Stop playing in the mud then fag !

Matt do you need my address?

Im sooo exctied for this weekend, w00t!

y not wash it right before u leave?

jim, if you want im doing full detail at my house around 4ish tonight. im going out shortly to buy a claybar and some wax.

ill have carpet steamer on hand as well.... ;)

I'm going for a world record today, full exterior detail in 3 hours and full interior detail in about the same amount of time. I'm gonna take before and after pictures as well.

Finish out my laptop mount tonight....o lord, this is gonna be INSANE!

thanks for the offer, but i'm just going to do it at my house. no use coming all the way out there ya know?

u HAVE to be sh*tting me! please tell me u just found a random pic and posted it.

what do you guys recommend for cleaning windows? because normal crap like windex leaves streaks like no other. im about to run out and buy my chemicals so i need to build my list up.

no dude, i'm outside right now. this is great. a little windy for the papers, but i'll take it.

meguiers tech window stuff. its the bottle with the green handle.

edit: best stuff i have ever used! its crazy good just remember a litttle goes a long way.

alrighty, sounds like meguiers is gonna be my top choice on stuff today, heh, time to burn some plastic at the store, im out

ITS FREAKIN' BEAUTIFUL OUTSIDE. I ran to get lunch, and I was almost way to hot with what I had on, and I have all my windows down and sunroof open!! WHY COULDNT IT BE LIKE THIS ON SATURDAY?!?!?!? god dammit i hate IL.

Ok, now I know where everyone is posting all day!!! :amraam:

oh and another :amraam: for having this meet thing so far away!!

hey, start driving now :) you can make it

pfffffffff GOOD ONE!

Get the hell out of our thread!!!!! lol

If he takes the beetle, he better hope it has nitrous.

pfffff....f*ck off :D

Such hostility!! Ima GTFO.

where do u work, and r they hiring?

Holy crap its sooo nice out ...

It will be like this by Saturday, even if I have to pray to the GODS OF JELLY for a jelly like intervention

Dane Cook fans will understand

i havent even been outside in the past 7 hours. i wish i could be, d*mn u jim!

I work for a mortgage company and no we are not hiring at this time.

haha I'm only playing. I just found that pic on the web. I fooled alot of people though with it.

yeah u had me going. but i was kidding about the hiring thing. yippy. who is this fool with the gtblow?

Yea, Jon... I'll either get your address, or just call you when I get close. Did you get my text last night or no??


I am going to send it thru a quick wash tomorrow morning, but who knows what it'll look like when I get there. I'd do it now, but I'm going out with the GF tonight, which means going out to her house, which means dirt roads up the ass. And even if I did clean it tomorrow morning (which I can't, because I'm working 3:30-9 and leaving at 9:15)... the 400 mile drive will own my car. Besides, the cleaner it is, the more the rock chips stick out. :(

i just went outside and the best word i can use to describe it is "perfect" sorry doc!

hahaha it's ok, we had that exact weather the last 2 days over here.... and it's actually the PERFECT day to do anything on a car that's not on the exterior... it's fairly bright, but no direct sun.... hardly any wind.... 45-50 degrees.... very comfortable to work in.

yeah thats not too bad

Yea I know... I finally got *some* work done on the car yesterday/today. You know the little chrome trim rings around the windows on SE's?? FINALLY got rid of mine. It's not perfect, but 10x better than having the chrome. Now the only part of my car that's not black or blue are the headlights, wheels, and the outline of the Pontiac logo on the front.:boogie:
