WHAT DID YOU DO TO YOUR BRZ TODAY?

[dbrandt01]

@Steve201brz Haha no. I've never once did the two bucket method, despite seeing everyone else do it that way. It was relaxing though washing/waxing. Weather is perfect down here.

I hope you didn't wash the car in the sun.

You can live with one bucket. You'll get minute swirl marks probably, but minor if you're careful. At least get a grit guard. The wheels will kill you though. Use a different bucket and NEVER use the same sponge/mitt on the wheels and paint.

Your tails look great, did you get it professionally done?

Bumper separation next to driver's side headlight (No fix, have to bring to body shop if I want it fixed).

Figured while I was there, I'd get the 7500 mile service since it's free, and I don't have time/facilities right now to do it myself.

Today: Found puddle of oil under car this morning. Lesson learned. I'll go back after work to have the leak fixed, then do the rest myself. Free be damned.

So they had a look, cleaned off the undertray, and determined there was no leak. I'm skeptical, but after sitting a couple hours this afternoon, I see no drops. I guess they made a literal mess of the job, but I'll be keeping an eye on it.

Nope! Rattle cans of duplicolor metalcast red and rustoleum clear.

here's a better shot of the tails:

I do my wheels last and use the crappiest MF towel and toss it out afterwards. No point in even cleaning it with all the brake dust and crap on it.

just applied directly; theres enough of a gap between the edge of the foglight and the plastic trim to push them down with a credit card or something small and flat.

Had a nail removed from the R/R to the tune of $30. Could have been worse I guess but I know where I got it from and will buy lunch somewhere else for the next week. That will teach them to clean up their parking lot....lol
