So a couple weeks ago we picked up a random orbitol and a bunch of cleaning stuff at Griots Garage Sale. The 540 was the test run and it's done. This weekend it was the 7s turn. Here's how it went.



Step 1: Wash and Dry - in the shade of course

Ouch, look at those cone marks, we really need to stop hitting those:

Step 2: Prep and clay- who's a dirty girl

Step 3: Polish - watch out girl with power tool

Z - If you buy the product, you are more than welcome to come over and use the garage and random orbital.



Kompressor - you're not getting close enough:D Hitting the cones is half the fun.



A couple words of advice for you all. Blue tape will pull the paint off spray-painted trim (oops) - don't worry woundup - I have a plan that involves you, some tape and some black brake caliper paint.



Next is glass polish, can't hardly wait.

Didn't anyone tell you that the dirty girls are the fastest! One reason I never wash mine...

I'm hoping for 2/10ths of a second on the strip. Reduced drag, you know https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/smile.gif
