D'OH! Go look at the Ohio forum and find the Mohican fun run thing that Perro posted. Both of you better make it. I'm not kidding.
What have you done to your P5 today?

mapquesting it it's only an hour and 23 minutes from me and I'm on the west side of C-bus. If you wanna meet up here, and ride up together it's cool with me.
Washed and waxed.
Tried out my new bottle of Chemical Guys Citrus Wash and Gloss
excellent product. Its perfect for super dirty grimey cars, and can also strip off old wax for giving a fresh surface for the wax to be applied too.
Its cost effective. At 7$ for 16oz, and using it at 1/2oz per 2 gallons, its much cheaper to use than my higher end more expensive washes. If you use 2oz per 2 gallons, you can easily clean a unwashed super grimey surface.
Today i used 1oz per 2 gallons, cuz i didnt need to use 2oz, as the current coat of wax on my car was on its last week. The 1oz was strong enough to cut through the 10 days worth of grime, as well as strip off what protection was left on the surface. Which was evident when i rinsed the car off. The water didnt sheet off as fast, and there wasnt much surface beading. (what beading and sheeting there was, was due to the car has been clayed in the recent months, and the panels are still relatively smooth.
The wax used was Pinnacle Signature SeriesII

Pics? ^^^
nah,
I dislocated my knee last week, so I pretty much limped around getting my car cleaned up. I didnt bother to take pictures or anything just because my knee was bothering me.
plus its very hard to translate a waxed silver car to a picture, and really appreciate it. (especially with a regular point and shoot camera)

Also...I have my MSP rear endlinks on the way for the Racing beat rear sway...just wondering if there is anything else that I will need to get for it, or is it just endlinks/sway bar...

Dude Scratch I gotta see pics of your e-brake since I was thinking of doing exactly what you did in swap for a MOMO e-brake and boot combo. Also can you PM me on how you got your e-brake off? Sorry to hear about your knee NC. It's nice to see though that you still are willing to care for your car even though you're not 100%.

^^^I will have pics up when the rest of my shippment comes in...I love the way the E-brake looks, although I can see how some people may not like the bulk of it...as for getting it off, I just snapped off the cover from the E-brake, and then pulled the cover off the E-brake itself...after that it was very easy...I will get you some pics though...just not tonight...

the rear sway?
Front, can't replace the rear back in stock class otherwise my AWR bar would still be on. I loved that thing...

Yea I've heard nothing but bad things about replacing the front sway. bad job and lots of understeer. I'll be getting the Progress rear sway sometime or maybe even the MSP one.
