C-tek chargers work for this situation.

Mine had three settings. Mine 2005 is a DD so I used the light setting, Made a nice difference but still smooth. No danger of a chirp though.

Fuel pump died yesterday, yayyyy

the micro fiber cloths will get thick with step one removal, so keep turning and use it up, then on to the next micro cloth. ( it took 4 of them to do my car) when your done, they will come clean some what, i soaked mine in a bucket with some car wash soap then rinsed them out a whole lot till they were clean enough to reuse next time.

wear some latex gloves too, it will come off your hands but will keep for a day around your finger nails and such. after all its dye.

I got a cheao pack of 8 from wally world so I'm set. I plan on waxing this week with it then the day before the Detroit meet and keeping the spray detailer with me.

the detailer is nice for after a wash. but you dont want to use it all up as its part of the removal of steps 1 and 2.

seems like you can get 3 full wax jobs out of it.

I have some other spray detailer I can use also, don't really think the black tint in it helps a whole lot at least in the detailer but idk

Wow the roads suck out there with this rain. Like 4 different places water was up and past the curbs on both sides of the road. It's not a good day for lowered cars. I'm glad I'm not, and actually an inch above normal ride height it seems. I may post a video later or just include it in my dash cam videos.

Just throw some swampers on it and take on the world.

Haha, the GP did fine in the water. It was probably past the sub frame in certain areas, and would have been halfway past the harmonic balancer if I didn't avoid certain spots.

Edit: also have been using the A/c a lot lately. The compressor is back to grinding when it's off now. I'll get to replacing the bearing eventually.

My gp survived a flash flood today. Drove through like 8 inches of water

That rain was nice eh? I was on Route 40 headed toward Eighty Four and noticed how dark and ominous the clouds were starting to look. It wasn't 5 minutes later that a friggin downpour started and I could hardly see the road.

Good thing about a fresh coat of wax is even with all the rain I drove in today the truck still looks great.

That rain was nuts my work. Had 10 inches of water in the parking lot in like 15 min

Yeah it kept coming and going. Huge downpour, sunshine, another downpour/flood. Possibly a foot of water on 8 mile and hoover today, the water was past the curb, all the way to the sidewalk.

I was shocked that the creek wasn't a raging river when I got home. I don't know where all the water went. LOL

Wait a day, then see. My uncle's river always goes up a day after a large rain for some reason

Not saying that it was gonna get dirty no matter where I drove it. It's just where I had to go.
