What have you done to your car today?

[Rybo89]

Mrk, surprised you haven't had it in for a paint job

 

[rodenal]

In that case, assuming it's complete you could plastic weld it then get it re-painted?

 

[acemastr]

Drove it 400 miles, averaged 27mpg US (32 UK)
That's sitting in traffic on the interstate, blasting off from lights and running the air on constantly.

Not too bad!

 

[ShiWarrior]

changed some bulbs

now have Osram Nightbreakers H1 and H7 along with the better sidelights from Ultra Auto

and a new cabin filter

So many things I need to do to my damn car...

Sun was out proper today so had a decent chance to clean it. First time I've been able to get a clay bar on it & I think it's a case of if rather than when it has even been done before. Managed to get some of the finer swirls out but ideally needs a good machine polish to get it looking spot on. Stupid black cars.

What did you use for lubricant when you clayed your car?

Tears of orphans works well I hear.

Tears of orphans works well I hear.

I though that would leave a white salty residue?

Precisely why I don't use it. That and the extortionate price. No fancy lube, I've got some Bilt Hamber clay which is perfectly happy with good old water.

Cool, I will look into that. Thanks for the reply.

 

[Westyfield2]

Cleaned mine today too.

I love how Black Gold looks up-close with the sun on it, but boy does it show every single scratch!

 

[slick rick]

Black cars do look fantastic with a deep shine. Black always seems like a bit of a bitch to keep it looking good though.

Another +1 for Bilt Hamber clay, good results and so easy just using warm water for lube.

RX8 - 3 New tyres, oil and filter change, MOT.

Insignia - oil and filter change.

Mk1 golf 2.0 - Spent yet more money on parts. Started on fitting fuel tank, lines and pump. I can see it finally being started for the first time since my ownership of 2 years soon!

 

[TheVoice]

Installed some LED rear indicators. Not quite as bright as the original ones but they should be fine, still plenty visible in daylight, just need to see if they're still bright enough to stand out at night against the rear reds.

Booked in next week.

 

[Akagi]

Changed the oil and filters. LOOOOONG overdue. Poor car...

Must have been 15,000 miles or more since I changed it. I know, I'm a terrible human being.

 

[AndyCr15]

This has been mine today -

Parking sensors, full service, bigger and better front brakes and upgraded lower control arms.
