          I was out at 6am and was all done at 11am.


          Started with cleaning the wheels then pressure washed the engine bay and sprayed some 303 aerospace protectant in there. Car was pretty clean already because I never put it under the car cover dirty. Clayed the car then tired Meguiars swirlX. That did not work at all so I trashed that plan. Probably don't have the right tools to use it. I then polished it and waxed it. Meguiars ultimate polish and paste wax Wiped down all of the jambs then cleaned the windows down and rainxed them all. Douched the vinyl top down with 303 aerospace protectant and then moved onto the interior. Just a quick wipe down with interior detailer. Final touch was some Meguiars endurance tire shine.

          Thanks.

            The grounds and the car nicely complement each other. One can't look it's best without the other.

                        Thanks guys....No women to ruin my fun here.

                        Anyways...got home from SF and the drivers side door lock actuator rivet decided to pop off leaving my actuator flopping around. Pulled the door panel off and nut and bolted it in this time. Also The damned vibration noise came back while running out to PA this weekend. Bugged the snot out of me especially when running down the long gravel laid driveways to Ski Pla. I believe I have definitively found the issue. Passengers side spring making contact with the chassis' spring perch in an area it was not supposed to. Slit a piece of vacuum tubing and slipped it over the trouble spot on the spring perch. We'll see.....
