Well, first off, I'd clean up the windshield wipers real good. Better yet, replace them.

Next, I'd try to remove the scratches.

If that didn't work, I'd take it in to a windshield repair booth for repair.

Hopefully it's just a build up of dirt, try getting a Razor blade and windex.

Installed Cusco gas pedal.

Anyone planning on doing this, take the smart route and use a 10mm deep socket to unbolt the whole pedal assembly (2 nuts on studs, takes 3min) and install it outside the car. Your back, neck, and knees will be all the better for it.



And gave it a much needed wash before Caffeine and Octane (local car show/meet) tomorrow.

I did the same thing, definitely recommend taking the gas pedal off.

I don't post every time I wash her, but damn she looks so especially good this time.

Where does the glass end and the roof start?

And no, that's not a speck of dirt on the paint between the antenna and passenger side - that's the reflection of a helicopter flying overhead.
