It had better be done soon. Mike was right, to be able to spend what, $2400 on suspension he should be able to spend $240 on detailing supplies

Of course, he can always hire me to do the work

Yeah, I came to his house to pick up his evo spoiler and drove him home that day. So you've seen the transformation of his 240 from when he bought it until now.

You can see exactly where I stopped claying the bumper, but the difference won't be as obvious on all cars.
ah i see....hmm...so use this clay bar and 'wipe' the car off w/ it...pretty much ?

Kevin, you gotta spray on some clay lube, then gently rub the panel with the clay. Once its smooth, wipe the area dry with a towel.

I think I'm gonna be detailing Chris' car. BlkEXcoupe and I will tackle this. I dont usually detail, but because his car is not Diamond White Pearl, I'll make an exception

What were you expecting me to do? You broke my ultimate detailing machine when I made you wash the gs.

The UDM didn't help much. My car was mostly done with the rotary. I hate the UDM and I'm glad I broke it!

Anyways, I didn't make it out to the Meguiar's meet. I ended up going to LA. Wish I could have gone to the meet
