I ran it through the local car wash Friaday at luchtime. It had white oxidized areas on the hood. The car looked really dull. I was mad at myself for neglecting it so bad. It has rained 225 out of the last 28 days here in Florida. Not very motivating to detail the car.



I sold my Mustang Firday so I could take up the whole garage with the 7.



I went to work on it. Orbital buffer Mequires swirl remover. Meguires #22 yellow wax and Meguires Gold Classig Wax. I used the swirl remover as a very mild compound to take off all the oxidation. I went over the entire car twice. Then added a coat of Yellow wax then a coat of Gold.



The car looks totally different. I will post pics soon. Its raining right now as usual.



I have to drive it to work tomarrow and I know it will get rained on. UHHH!! I should be picking up my new CooperS Tuesday so My 7 can stay in the garage and stay clean.

cooper s's are fun little cars i test drove one, they got some pep to em. i got a friend with a 50shot in his coopers who can almost keep up with me in third gear. he had me scared for a second i thought i would have roasted him but its a faster car than i thought

I can not wait for the MCS to arrive. I have ordered the John Cooper Woprks kit too. It adds 35HP to the car. It sounds meaner too. It comes in about 4 weeks then I have to drop the car off to get it installed. The I will go RX-8 hunting. https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...#>/biggrin.png

I should have taken a picture of it before. It looked like crap.



Funny - When I look at it I laugh it looks so stock. It so funny watching the looks poeples faces as I rip away from them.

My "temporary" Cooper until Mine arrives. This is the same color Red whith white roof Mirrors. I had them put a checkerd flag on the roof though not the British. Yeah its an R/C car.

Looks very sexy, but I like the rims where you have the slicks mounted LOL, the Laggera's are nice too though.
