Yes, but notice how is made by a company that has a turtle as their logo, so the cars lack a lot of power.

It looks good. Did you buff first or was it just wash and apply?

I just washed it and then you’re supposed to buff it with the product, wipe it off with a damp cloth, then use a dry microfiber towel.

Sounds easier then the Adam's Ceramic kit I used. I had to wash, then buff the whole car with rubbing compound, then surface prep, then apply ceramic coat. Took a whole weekend. To be fair my car needed a whole lot of paint correction.

Then after all that work I wrapped like a 1/3 of it lol.

good plan though. i detailed and waxed the ranger before i added all my vinyl to it. when it came time to peel it all off 3 years later, most of it came off in 1 piece, except for 1 part of a 2-color vinyl that was on the side that got all the sun...

got home early today, and a carb, sparkplug, and fuel line came in the mail. so started working on 'the ox' as google says it is.. a toro 826 snowblower my nice neighbor gifted me..



it's got good compression, and definitely getting fuel now, but not getting spark...

for a 20-30? year old snow blower, it's got a way over-complicated electrical cut-off system...


next project is cutting it all apart except the key system, and seeing if my problem is either the magneto or the 'safety' system...

It works a lot better than the spray. Yes, is a bit more work, but the results are way better. Never seen my car so shiny.

It all boils down to the terminal that shorts out the mag coil. Disconnect that and see if it regains spark.

4x4 mode.

Saw a Miata with bigger tires than my truck yesterday.

My car still makes such weird noises that bother me lol.

Yesterday I had the AC going and I _think_ the fans were making a tapping noise. But if I held in the clutch then the noise stopped. If the AC is off then the noise doesn't happen.

But how the heck would the clutch affect the AC? Also it can't be the TOB since that and the fork were replaced like 2000 miles ago.

On the other hand this noise has happened for years so maybe it's just one of our cars' typical weird noises.

Still dealing with the dealership I bought my truck from in May

They still owe me a set of tires for the truck.

Local place that is also the nearest Subaru dealership.

Unfortunately I messed up and didn't get it noted on the "we owe." But I do have an email from the sales manager saying they were billed to the truck on the presale recondition. So I have some recourse.
