Actually just got the tree up today. Yea I know I am slow. At least I was allowed to put the small tree up this year. If the tree wont fit in a garabge can its too big.
Happy Holidays., Can you still say Merry Christmas without getting sued. Ah screw them, Merry Christmas Merry Christmas Merry Christmas Merry Christmas Merry Christmas and a happy new year. I think you can still say that. :icon_lol:
I hope everyone has a Merry Christmas and Happy holiday season! If you have to travel, drive safe, and don't get into any accidents...I don't wannt have to wonder "hmmm where did so and so go? I haven't seen them in 3 months....hope their Christmas was good" only to find out they hit a moose or something lol. Have a great season people!
Merry Christmas everyone. I'm on my way out the door to my brothers in MA. Actually gonna leave the laptop home. :icon_neutral:
Shouldn't be so bad.
Right?...
Merry Christmas.
All the best to all TGP owners, w-body owners, folks who like TGP's but don't have one yet, folks who race, folks who cruise, even those car owners who don't actually drive their car(s).
I believe "Merry Christmas" is politically correct, here! LOL
I doubt that we'll see snow here in Chicago by anytime before nightfall on Christmas Day. Anybody wanna race??? ; )
I may have to play golf tomorrow. It's an old tradition that, mostly, I had given up since coming back to Chicago after living in more southerly climes.
I'd be surprised if I break 80. I haven't played since my car wreck, which proved fatal to my first TGP. I gave my new TGP a Christmas present. A car wash, complete with wheel and tire treatment. I never allow them to use spray wax or clear-coat-anything on my car. And undercar wash is somewhat useless. It's a lot more convenient just to drive around in the rain. If my roof didn't leak (I believe it's at the windshield seal), I'd drive in the rain. But since I only drive when I want to, and it's not raining, I don't get the headliner wet. Except for car washes. In the summer, I'll wash it by hand, especially after waxing it my own self.
1. 3M liquid wax -- Professional Formula Perfect-It? Show Car Liquid Wax Ultra High Gloss Finish
2. Swirl remover -- Meguiar's or 3M (not sure it matters)
3. Gold carnauba liquid -- Meguiar's "The Professional" Hi Tech Yellow Wax 26 Mirror Glaze High Gloss Paint Protection (That's quite a name... LOL)
I used to get the deepest shine I've seen with about four treatments with DuPont? AP Teflon. That was a three-step process. RoadRunner Fleet Detailing my car and a lot of Penske's trucks after proving it on some of their race cars, including Indy cars. My car actually felt like it was moving faster because of the Teflon coating. But I can't defend it if you don't believe it. LOL
? A dual-action (rotating and orbital, I believe) was used to apply thick liquids from squeeze bottlles, applied onto terrycloth pad. First, a diatomaceous earth product, called "pre-treat" was used to dissolve and remove anything on the paint. Handwork is absolutely necessary near rubber trim and all of these products should be immediately removed from any black rubber moldings, etc.
? Then the dry or almost dry pre-treat was wiped off. These days, I believe they'd have used a really good Micro-fiber cloth to do that. Cheap Micro-fiber cloths can scratch if a lot pressure is applied.
? Then the teflon was applied. It goes on just like wax. Then the Teflon was wiped off.
A second coat was applied no sooner than 24 hours (roughly). Additional coats performed like swirl remover, until eventually all swirls were gone. It took four coats to get there. It lasted a couple of years after the last application, many years ago, maybe 10-12 years ago. I still had some minor swirls and could have gone further, but it was just perfectly satisfactory for me for a long time after treament with that stuff.
Since I can't obtain that product anymore as only known source went out of business in Indianapolis, I've used the 3M as my base and top it off with the gold carnauba.
That's what I'll likely do with my new TGP, in da spring. : )
Merry Christmas, again! ; )
Merry Christmas everyone! :cheers:
Happy holidays to everyone, from one of the older members................................. :laugh:
