Do you have any close up pics of the paint after you took off the black out tape? I've wnted to do this but I'm affraid what the paint quality underneath looks like.

I'm at work right now. I'll snag a pic for you when I get home

I just picked it up at my local Canadian Tire for about $14 for fairly large can.

I never have tried a "Waterless" car wash product.My concern would be the paint getting scratched with all that dirt on it...

 

[YouBeTailsIllBeSonic]

That's kinda what I was thinking/wondering about

Trust me I was skeptical about it to so I started slow. But once you give each panel a good sprits the dirt comes off super easy and you just keep wiping it down with microfiber cloth and then polish with a clean one. No scratches.

I used Rain-X Waterless once. It looked great when I finished but about 3 days later we had one of those Texas 5 minute floods then right back to 90 degrees. I had to clay the whole car to get the water spots off. Never again.

Finally got the tip on lol. I just couldn't be bother to take the time. Been really busy so I just took it into the local exhaust shop and had them readjust the muffle so it worked.

new power amp

I installed a new Alpine 400 Watt 4-channel power amplifier in my 2013 1.4 6mt inferno orange hatchback Sonic. The amplifier is driving 4-6 1/4" Alpine 2-way door speakers. It sounds really nice.

waterless carwash

I am not sold on waterless car wash especially at 14 bucks a can. I use good ol-fashioned car soap and high pressure rinse water. I can spray off the surface dirt and soap off the rest of the dirt...

Got new Continental Premium Contact 6 tyres and I've done 500 miles with them. I'm not happy with the highway handling at 80mph+ speed. The car bounces a lot. Should I lower the tyre pressure? It's at the 35 psi now. My pregnant sister asked "can you lower the speed more at the speedbumps?" She said it's a lot more unconfortable then their Seat Leon.

That's a statement you don't hear to often on here.

First day driving it any distance and of course the low pressure tire light goes on ( Wifey's Trax ( AKA Trixie ) got a flat 3 weeks into ownership then another a week later ) --

So I check "All" the brand new rubber and found them all at 29 to 30 lbs. -- not the factory 38 lbs. --

Soooooooooooooo -- today I aired all 5 -- does that count

P/S -- Anyone know what the grace poundage is before the light goes on ?

And a nice Febreze smelling cabin found its way under the dash this morning -- and one less place to look for the OnStar thingy --

And ordered a replacement radio antenna from RockAuto.COM -- more than 1/2 the cost cheaper than from Autozone --

P/S it probably wasn't changed since it was in the stealer-ship 7 years ago - LOL

P/SS -- if anyone cares -- 2012 Sonic & 2019 Trax -- same size --

A while back, I got t-boned. The passenger side b pillar was pushed in about 2 inches. The doors are crushed in. The other driver was cited. Do not ask me any questions about the crash because I am not going to answer them. A guy from the other driver’s insurance company came out to take a look at the car. I cleaned it up and made it nice and shiny. Once he left, I went to take a few pictures for myself to use as a desktop background. I am using the one in color (with plate numbers) but the black and white one turned out great (I used Adobe Photoshop). Below is a link to both.
