What have you done to your MSP today?

Yea I got 5 dents on my car. 1 door ding, 2 small ones on the trunk, 1 big one on the rear pillar, and a huge ****** on the roof. I know a paintless dent repair guy and he quoted me around 100 or so. Sounds like a deal to me.

im heading up there right now!!!! lol
 
hmm, I was going to say that looks really super clean, (which it is, don't get me wrong) than after a while of looking at it, I realized its almost the same thing as mine after I clean it, just without the oil/coolant reservoir cans and the blue vac lines everywhere and the sticker in the front of the engine bay that has the warning thing or w/e on it is off, which reminds me to scrape mine off completely, I got it partially off but didn't finish, it kinda completes everything when it's off

but either way I am still curious as to what you used to clean it, I just use some detailer cleaner/wax spray, and armorall protection spray on the plastic/black stuff

I couldn't drive the MSP until I figure out what my new problem is, so I spent some time detailing the engine bay...

I have a friend with a body and paint shop. He ordered the paint (from PPG I think). Then I got one of those little aerosol paint rigs and sprayed it myself.

Oh, and I used Griot's engine cleaner to clean the bay. Just spray it on, let it sit a couple minutes, and rinse it off (well). Then wiped it all down with shop rags. Spent about an hour and a half total, including drying time.

ADP= air diverter panel. Its the metal piece that lays between the grille and radiator with the hole cut out for the hood latch mechanism.

The radiator hoses are aftermarket preformed silicone. Mine are OBX brand, but they can also be purchased from SAMCO.
