Vaccuumed it, Leather Stuff'd it, Sealed it, did the rims and tires, even Rain X'd it.

Put another coat of Sealant on Dee's car and then threw all the dirty towels and pads in the wash. 

Halfway packed...  Pooped!

I finished detailing Deedle's coupe to my standards, not Go-N Def's.  Go-n Def put applied pro-polish and then sealer to the Coupe.  Thanks Mike.  See ya'll in the a.m.

Got a paintless dent removal expert over to the house today to get a few dents taken out. This guy was amazing and you would never know that there was ever a dent there.

I hope I never see that guy again...    :D

@ Sly, you can buy paintless debt removal kits for around $200.  :)

I relocated power steering reservoir from next to the hot turbo to just under the passenger headlight(Sky).

The guy that did the job for me did a perfect job. The dents were pretty substantial and you can't tell they were ever there now.

We talked about those "do it yourself kits". He likes them because most people make more of a mess and it's more work for him.  :D

On a dark colour car if you don't do a perfect job you're going to see it. I can tell you though that he had substantially more than $200 worth of tools.

Sly Bob,

Can you tell him I have two small dents that I would like for him to remove?  I have been thinking about that since I bought the car and it had them.  One looks like a grocery buggy the other is on one of the humps and I have no idea where it could have come from.  No paint damage, just small dents.

It's only 2900 miles from you to me....

Woo hoo!  Congratulations!

Crashed a car show today!  Shiny, Reed, Excelsior and I took mine and Reed's cars to dinner at the Quaker State Steak & Lube in Canton and they were having a car show.  We rolled up and I popped the hood, raised the doors and lit the strobes.  People started coming over to look at it and we just walked inside and had dinner...

I was a little dissapointed thet there was no trophy in the seat when we came out! :lol:

I drove home from Nationals.

While there I had DDM install a Powder coated Valve and Coil cover

The silver stuff on the coils has already been wrapped in black, and so will the horizontal piece shortly.
Next is having the elbow powdercoated

Put 1,400 miles total on my car this weekend with nationals. Includes to Canton, the runs and dinners, to Cedar Point, and back home. 29.4mpg average for the entire weekend. Which I thought was really good considering most of the time on the highway I was doing 75-80 with the AC on.

Sunday was rough. Up at 7am, at Cedar Point for 10am opening, left at 4pm got home at 12:30am :( Really tired at work this morning.
