I use this forum for the DIY. Not a lot of activity on the other site. Today I changed the oil put cardboard in front of the radiator due to the cold. Thought I would get to the radio led's today but maybe next weekend.

About 20 degrees in Mich. Washed my 04 ES, quarter car wash and in the garage. I wipe around the inside of the doors, trunk and gas cap cover. Won't stay clean, but at least got the salt off.

Washed it, vacuumed, removed the snow, ice and salt. Waxing tonight. Checked all fluids. All OK
It does not need anything else. Woow, what a reliable car!
It's now parked in the showroom (My garage)

Will post a picture in the next few days. Car is staying in the garage this weekend. Its too clean to take out. Will be using my Wife's car, as its already dirty, and mine was just washed and waxed.
Next thing I need to do, is apply some tire treatment, and as preventive maintenance am trying to figure out how to lubricate the sunroof mechanism, and specifically what type of lubricant to use for that. (I currently have another post on that topic).
I'm really trying hard to find things to do to my car (2001 ES300). It asks nothing from me.
