I replaced a girls power steering hose on her escape today at work then came home and installed the rear head on the comp g
I use a waterblade aka a squeegee. If the finish is smooth enough it will be perfectly dry with one swipe, then I take a big microfiber drying towel and get the edges and panels.Quote:

And there's no shade anywhere when it's sunny around my house.
I have a water blade, I like it. It gets rid of a lot of water and finish drying is easy.
Had this shift boot laying around since I was a kid, bought it for a Mazda MX6 GT and never installed it. Next... learning how to re-wrap gearshift knobs.

we can all take our micro rags and shammys and toss them, my brother uses a hot air blower made for drying cars, has a safe rubber tip on it. blows the water right off. its a bit anal take longer, but its dry and spot less.
also you'll never get swirl marks with this blower. its no touch.
Or just use a quick wax as a drying aid
Got some JB weld for my retro this weekend��
Washed and vacuumed it
Sick of putting gas in it.
K..so the D2S 3.0s are the chit.
Should have listened to RED about driving em first. I had them bolted in on the top but i was afraid they would have bounced.
I should have tightened them flush and drove to get an idea of the beam height.
I set them at roughly 25ft, sealed them b!tches up and everything else was smooth except for the stripped ground bolt that Oreillys let me purchase.
The beams were perfect side to side but way fkn low.I could see the cut-off on the road not to far out. My heart sank and bummedmethefckout.
Soooo got some of these from work

Used the one on the right which is almost twice as thick. I put it between the headlight and the bottom pin. I also chiseled out the plastic nub on the plastic frame for the top one.
Tapped it down slowly with a hammer.
This elevated the beam to damn near perfect and didnt seriously mess with the cutoff.
So there is a way to fix the elevation.
The difference was short of phenomenal
Lmao.. Yup been there done that haha.

Something else you can do to to fix minor rotation is drill the hole on the reflector a bit larger then the actual bolt then use a nut behind it. That way if your rotation is off slightly you simple loosen the nut and then get it where you want and tighten it back then go crazy with JB weld.
Thats exactly what I did but skipped the drive, acted like a kid and got impatient and all confident.Quote:

I am just relieved it worked out.
Just be glad you don't go through gas like I do in the work truck. Put $115 in it Monday morning, put $113 in it today. I'll probably go through that by the end of the week.Quote:
