Dreaming of spring....

[MiVor]

Weather update: had our first thunder storm yesterday - a sure sign the winter is moving on! Yea.

MiVor- Ah, OK...for what you`re using it on I wouldn`t expect any issues.

Ah#2, interesting that they have that on their FAQ now.

Ya know, when something eunexpectedly messes up aluminum wheels that are *not* bare aluminum, I always think it was related to microfissures/etc. in the wheels` finish, like how winter salt can cause issues where none were previously obvious. And yeah, I`ll readily admit that I err on the side of caution when it comes to what I use on wheels.

We got a good thunderstorm this morning too, yeah..winter really seems gone now

So it should be an early july thaw ?

Vette gets uncovered this weekend. Now whether I get to drive it is another story. Sunday looks promising.

Lol! I did uncover it today. Installed a MGW shifter. Sunday looks like a beaut so I`ll have it out. WITH pictures

It was so warm yesterday I was able to `shampoo` (extract) the seats and carpet! (something I`ve wanted to do since I bought it in January).

As I was extracting, I discovered a large amount of soap residue in the carpet. I suspect a previous use of that spray on foam - vacuum up stuff that didn`t all come out. I think I got most of it but maybe not all.
With all the doors open I set up a fan to facilitate faster drying.

MiVor- Ah, good that you got the soap residue out before it retained too much dirt and made things tougher on you.

[MiVor]

So today I was going to do the wash and spray wax routine (still need to break out the paste [uncertain about a need to polish yet]). I was using my Karcher electric pressure washer on the tires when it began throwing water inside the unit causing the pump to run continuously and spew water everywhere. I took it apart, but don`t see a way to fix it so it`s time for a new one. I did an ONR wash instead followed by a Megs Ultimate spray wax. Also trying Megs spray tire shine.
(I then repaired my under front bumper damage [separate thread]).

Footnote: I had some tar on the lower front fenders and a little on the doors. I discovered that Goo Gone is an excellent tar remover.

[Accumulator]

MiVor- Ah jeeze, another Karcher bites the dust. Given my history with Karchers, I almost feel like I jinxed it by posting on this thread!

[MiVor]

Well I went to Lowes today and got another pressure washer - an electric 2000psi Greenworks - not familiar with the brand, but it works well (pressure washed the driveway).

Well as usual I forgot to take pictures but my buddy`s kid did snap this pic. We both got our cars out of winter "hibernation" so I stopped over at his place for some spring detailing.

[Accumulator]

MiVor- Ah, I`d had my eye on that one (until I got my Christmas gift cheapie). Hope it works out well for you, if you get a chance, report back on how it holds up.

Will do. Broke my rule and got the two year replacement plan - if it dies, Lowes gives me a new one!

Nice rides.
