i ran my fd off a cliff in april, and the whole car is full of dirt, when you drive it it smells like burning dirt. whats the best way to get rid of it all?



mike

Why did you do that?



Any way power wash and steam clean her real good.

Lets make this thread ligitimate.

I use Meguiers products. They are the best!!

yah, the car is beond that though :(



mike

take it to one of them power wash places, and spray the **** outta it. Hell, I see people who take their trucks mudding doing this all the time. Seems to work for most people. Only thing is, if you are spraying under the hood, be careful for the electronics, and also dont do it while hot (I am sure u knew that already though https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...DIR )

Hey do any of you guys hand wax the car yourself? what kind of wax do y'all recommend for the FD and is it available in a parts stores like Discount, autozone, or pep boys?

the zaino brothers stuff works really well, as does meguires.

it kinda depends on how much work you want to do, those multi step ones are and all weekend deal



mike

just run it in a lake or river and your fine. https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/blink.png

if you do that, you'll never get the carpets clean....

Smells like burning dirt, you say? How bad can that be? I'm sure you'll get used to it after awhile. Just hang one of those little trees off your rear-view mirror. That'll fix it!

Or, you could mask the dirt smell with the smell of burning rubber. B)

thats a good idea, those tires sucked anyways.....



mike

if you ran it off a cliff then you probably need a new one. once you get all of the crap off of it use meguiars quick wax. i use that and its great. you spray it on and then wipe it off. its great

actually it still runs and drives. even the ac works and the alignment is still ok. the fd's are tough. it does have a lot of cosmetic damage (lh door, both fenders, bumper etc)



mike

sooooaaaappp, and a little elbow grease

Meguires and wait till the sun is going down. It's safer on your paint.

yeah meguiars is good stuff

Meguiars it is then!!! thanx people!!!
