Are you guys talking night time or an all day deal. I won't be available on Wednesday until about 6 PM.

@Zach

The pressure washer was only about $165 at home depot. I picked up the Griot's Foam Sprayer but at Home Depot they had the Foam Blaster which sounded cooler so I got it, and it was only $17. I am going to set up the rig based on a thread over at auto geek by Express Detail. Here's a youtube of the $17 dollar blaster hooked to a pressure washer. Do you have any suggestions on the pressure washer setup?

Where are you getting your clear bra done? And how much are you paying for it? I'm looking to get mine done up before I start driving on freeways comfortably.

Just a partial one that covers the whole the front bumper and headlights for $495 at 503 motoring. I just hate when front bumpers get a sand blasted look to them.

Nothing on the hood or mirrors. I was going to put it off, but after getting a half dozen rock chips in 2 minutes I decided it was worth doing now.

I paid $695 at Tommys for a full front, partial hood and fenders( 18" or so ), mirrors, door edges, door handle cups and rear bumper under the trunk and front of the rear wheelwell. Mine is a DD, so wanted more protection. At Guardline, they do a full hood and fender package that is $900-ish.

That is a nice selection there of goodies. I have been thinking about cruising up to check them out myself.

For the guys looking for clear bra, email Nathan at info@blacklabelpdx.com. I have decided to use my limited funds elsewhere on the car but if I was going to get clear bra again Nathan is the ONLY person I would trust to touch my car. He has worked for a few shops in the area but owns his own machine and does not "cut on car", 3m certified and has been doing it for at least 7 years that I know of.

Wed after 6 is what works for me, day job.

I may be without my car again this week. Just picked it up from the reinstallation of the kit and it is terrible. So disappointing. Oh well, either way I'll be there.

I'm gonna pick up a pressure washer so I can soap my car like yours. I'll see how yours works out before I pull the trigger.

I'm gonna hit the shop around 4-5pm, so anytime after that is cool. I want to get my car washed and claybarred before @Zach heads over.

Anyone else that wants to show up, feel free.

I'll unbox and mod the pressure washer tonight so we can all check it out tomorrow.

Thanks, I'll keep him in mind next time I need some work!

I think they did a pretty good job. I would give a A-. He said they did not have a pattern so he had to hand cut it. I ended up with a small bubble on one mirror that he is going to fix, but overall pretty good. I still wish I could of had Guardline do it, but they were booked out too far and I needed to get it done before we went on our road trip.

I am glad I did, since last night I was cleaning off a few bugs from my nose and realized one was actually a gouge in the film from a rock or something! It deff saved a big chip.

I need tint recommendations. 503 cancelled my tinting appointment. Might just go to Tommy's again. For some reason I am being super picky about what manufacturer each place uses.

I washed up last night, need a polish already (bah subaru paint!) but will wait for a weekend. I can swing over after work and give you a hand if your still planing on heading over.

It almost looks like rain.
