meatpimp posted:Try Mr. Clean's Magic Eraser. Make sure it's wet. You'll be amazed. I did, actually. Did nothing. I don't know what this stuff is. I've used car wash, windex, 409, Kaboom!, magic eraser. I don't know what CLR would do to my paint, so I'm not attempting that. The only thing to work is the scratch remover. I guess it needs something abrasive to get it off. edit - vvvvvvvvv Vinegar, there's an idea.

Splizwarf posted:Why haven't you bottled some and gotten it tested? There's no way it's healthy if it's this crazy on glass and clearcoat. I think the condo people owe you on this. To be honest, I should have, but it hasn't happened since the beginning of August. I completely missed the opportunity to get a sample. It's come off the windshield where the wipers go, but not anywhere else. Geoj posted:"You shouldn't have parked your car so close to the sprinkler system." Right, these people are notoriously difficult to get any information out of. I'll be on it if it happens again. I'm not even sure why they ran those sprinklers in the first place. There's no grass or flowers or anything there, it's a mulch area with nothing but trees.

There's no light in the back of these Subarus, so I installed some Hella warm white courtesy lights. See new light compared to stock at the bottom.  Full album http://imgur.com/a/VyVTd

Wash, claybar, Sonax Polymer Netshield. Was going to wax on top of that, but the sun just came out and its hotter than July out there. Might wax it tonight if it doesn't thunderstorm, or maybe in the morning tomorrow, or maybe next week. This Sonax stuff is supposed to last 6 months - it definitely makes the paint darker and shinier, but doesn't cover up the fine marks on the clearcoat like wax does. Also the finish isn't glass smooth like wax, but more "grippy," I don't know how to explain it. And the pollen is in full effect right now, I'm pretty sure I have pollen molecularly bonded to my paint for the next 6 months. Oh and before that changed the oil, air filter, and cabin filter.

blindjoe posted:I did the netshield on my white car, and missed a few places to polish off. It makes a nice base for the grime to stick to. I was doing it in small sections and buffing it out with a microfiber immediately after application. It buffed clear, but I've read if you let it dry it will be impossible to buff out without reapplying. My car is black, it made the black deeper, similar to waxing.

Did some upholstering with a couple of these floor mats. I wanted something waterproof and tough without spending $150+ on oem stuff.

It was warm enough so I did a wash and quick wax. Its annoying to clean around the side molding on the doors, but its protected me from at least 4 dings. gently caress people who open their doors into other cars.

Put the original grille back on, realized I would never get around to or have use for installing driving lights behind the mesh grille. New serpentine belt. New air filter. New cabin air filter. Replaced my broken amp.

My tires came with road hazard included. Which is good because 90 miles in, I hit a surprise pothole and got a bubble in one.

Changed out a faulty brake light switch. Sprayed grease all over the squeaky clutch linkage. Noticed rust on the weld points of the subframe. Its only been through 3 northeast winters.

Getting started on my off road cosplay. Also installed some bedrails made of superstrut to attach jerry cans, shovels, traction boards, and hi-lift jacks.   Anyone got a good source for Zombie Response Team stickers?

Make sure your lid is pulled way down and you tuck the top of your ears in under it.

Picked up some OEM rock sliders from a guy who took them off his ZR2. Installed them on my Z71. Hated those naked pinch welds.

Went to the dealer for my free oil change, spent 2.5 hours waiting. I don't care how free it is, I'm going to go back to doing it myself like on all my past cars.

After swearing that this time I would leave everything alone and especially not play with any electricity, I wired up some LED strip lights to the factory harness for bed lights in anticipation of getting a tonneau cover soon. The official GM accessory is very expensive and provides poor results. This was (if I didn't spend a bunch of money on stuff I didn't need) about $30 in materials. It runs off the same bed light switch for the overhead light. Its attached under the bed rails with 3M molding tape.

Lol should have. The lights are hooked up to the wiring with their own connectors, so I can easily swap out at any time. Here is a wiring diagram

Spent way too much time washing and claying and waxing it Dunno if it's worth the effort on a white car.
