not bad for an 01, need to do the tire shine bit to make it shine..

bored so just posting random shit...

dont be afraid to use high pressure car wash hose.. just stay away from belts and shit full blast... cleans easy..

Nice Job.

did you need to cover the electrics or were they ok after getting all wet?

Belts squeeled for 3 seconds. Then all good. Didn't cover anything.

did a little shiny shine shine with some armorall wipes.. was all i had, not sure what kind of tire shine to get...

The best tire shine i found is Armourall tire foam

spray it on as a foam and then it sets nice and shiney

WD40 is also good for making things shiney but dosen't last very long

I blast mine when I actually go to a car wash. Haven't had a problem after 7 years of doing it. Just use some common sense.

You will know when your plug wires need replaced this way. The daughter's 1gn didn't even hold up to a garden hose. (NAPA wires)

It is all better now, after a visit to Summit Racing.
