Thread: Mad Monkey's GP - Fresh and Clean

This is why I hate my car for being silver. Not matter how much I polish and clean I just can't get it to have that shine I really want.
Don't get me wrong, it does have a great shine, but then I park next to my GFs dirty black truck and her truck shines better dirty and is more reflective dirty than my silvermist is freshly cleaned. Just erks me

worst season of the year... pollen season lol

^^^ Boss has been giving me hell all day for sneezing and using up the paper towels to blow my nose. I told him to just shoot me around 11 cuz I didn't want to finish the rest of the day. He just laughed. I hate allergies

I'm hoping that i can get some nice weather this week and get the car cleaned up.. Nyordrms i need your magic touch on this spoiler.. its angering me, not sure if i can fix it lol

wash your car with dish soap, it will remove the wax on your car, then get to buffing that thing.

whats wrong with the spoiler? it just need sanding? and buffing?

yeah its just not getting as shiny as i want it to be. I want shiny shiny lol

copy what? you don't have a GP


although I'm not gonna have those lil windows on the reverse bar, gonna figure something nice out.

did you clear coat it?

oh yeah, its been cleared, several coats, i think i just need to sand a bit more, get rid of some orange peel, then buff it, but i couldn't get it working the other day, so instead of breaking something i just stopped lol its ok when its dirty, but id like the car to be clean LOL

wet sand it with soapy water, 2500 then 3000, then compound the crap out of it with the buffer, it will shine.

if you have a steady hand you can scrap runs off with a razor blade. its kinda hard to sand a run off with out removing to much around it.

search youtube vids for a lesson lol

using 2500 ud be there forever, u need to have alil harsher like 1500, if u know what ur doin then 1500-2000 works best, it really depends on how much orange peel u have,

Spent the day cleaning the TB and making an intake.. took time because i wanted to make it nice, that and i broke the MAF so that had to be fixed LOL

MAF repair.. good old JB Stick



Intake installed:





And a crappy video of the nice sound it was making...

Looks legitimate boss!
This will be my next mod.
I totally want that speedo!

another day I'm gonna paint the black with the Duplicolor Metalcast

...wait how is that attached to the TB?

with a 3" pipe clamp, its got a rubber sleeve inside it and 2 band clamps plus that corrugated stuff outside, its awesome

you can remove the steel corrugated stuff and just use the rubber, for a all black intake. I think it would look much better black.

Good stuff J.

Looks good. Looks more legit than most.
