CornHolio posted:That looks fantastic. Link to the kit you used? My car has the same problem, and I've never been able to get them cleaned good. It's a steal at $10.

A little spring cleaning: Wash with foam gun Clay Menzerna Super Intensive Polish w/ PC7424 Menzerna Nano Finish w/ PC7424 Meguiars #16 wax I also detailed the engine bay, vacuumed the interior, and pulled the wheels off to clean the insides. Meguiars #16 is the first carnauba I've used and it's fantastic. Feels nice and thick and makes the color a bit warmer (car is off white). The Menzerna polish combo is pretty easy to work with and does a nice job. The paint is not completely mark-free but still significantly better than before and I'm still refining the technique. Obligatory reflection shot.

VibrioCholera posted:Great work there. What pads did you use and what was your technique? I usually use Lake Country CCS pads. I like them but it takes quite a few. White cars are so much fun to detail because you won't go nuts looking for all the imperfections. The only problem with them is clay bar. Holy crap you see everything versus claying a black car. It's a trade off I guess.

Rotated the tires yesterday. While the wheels were off I gave them a thorough wash and wax. No, I didn't get under the car with it jacked up like that. Today, cleaned up the rest of the car. It was just dusty so it got an Optimum No Rinse sponge bath. Took it out for a couple pictures because hey, new camera and clean car.

Installed the accessory armrest in my Mazda 2. The pieces: Console out. It's held in with one bolt and a couple clips. Then the bracket above is bolted to an existing bracket and holes lining up with the bracket and armrest base are drilled into the console. Finished product which is placed nicely for the resting of arm.

Installed and programmed an UltraGauge. Really nice alternative to a ScanGauge at about half the price.

Lowclock posted:Also looks a shitload better. How's the update rate and functionality compared to the Scangauge? The only things I would change about the UltraGauge would be to have user configurable lighting color and a detachable cable.

Doing an oil change for the first time on my Mazda 2 (the dealer did the first one for free). Picked up 5 quarts of Mobil 1 0W-20 and the world's smallest oil filter from Pep Boys. It's a $38 package deal that they have going on right now. The car took exactly 4 quarts. 0W-20 is about the same consistency as water and you can pour the entire bottle into the engine in about 2 seconds. I haven't had to deal with a spin-on oil filter in about 6 years.
