I NEVER had streaks with my method.

That works the best, but you can use one. I just fold the rag twice, use one side with the detailer, then the other side to wipe away streaks. Also you will get streaks if you are in the sun, or the car is too hot.

There's no way to avoid having the rag become over-saturated, two rags solves that issue so there's no reason to worry.

That's what she said..

I've never had any problems with one, but like I said two is the best way. I use the same method for windows too, works great and no streaks.

Back on topic.

Installed my aluminum control amrs with poly bushings and rear swaybar. Got some Moog ball joints and new front wheel bearings. Rides sooooo much better and that swaybar is a big difference.

****y pic, all I had was my phone. Damn lens is getting scratch up bad.

Thanks Coop! Exhaust is next, got my muffler and tips, probably going to try it without a res first. If I don't like it I'll just take it to work and weld one in. Then saving for body work and paint. Most likely I'll be done after that, other than some little thinks here and there.

Sweet! You should notice a big handling difference with those additions.

Yes, very much so, I didn't think the swaybar would be noticeable at low speeds, but I definitely know It's there. Can't drive it too much though, gotta wait for an alignment tomorrow.

I was reading through you thread a little bit ago, "rsm strikes again" hoping my bushings don't do the same as yours, but I am wondering how are the new ones working out? I may end up changing to those if these do fail.

Which bushings do you have? RSM isn't around anymore so of course you can't get theirs. Those failed because the bushings weren't designed properly, and they weren't the right kind of urethane.

I have the prothane bushings now, and they are holding up fine so far. Should last much longer. Those are all you can get now, besides stock rubber bushings. Only option is to get the red ones or the black ones. They are the same hardness, but the black ones have graphite mixed in them for better lubrication, so I got those. But anyway if those are what you have now, you shouldn't have any problems getting them to last longer than my RSM bushings.
