What did you do to your car today....

I polished the plastic covering over the gauge cluster (some scuffing) as well as the plastic over the climate control display

This was always a big thread in past car forums I have been a part of and is a good way to get the word out of what your doing to your ride to help others who may want to do what you have done......so.....post up!!

Polished the headlights and rears, and bought some JDM tails - I'm kind of stoked to get them!

Driving the Lex Luther for a few days, after a little break it feels so good to cut on the G and go for a spin.

Dawn soap stripped the paint, clayed it, polished it, glazed it, waxed it than buffed it...glad its not too hot out!! Man it shines so purrty!! Nothing beats detailing your ride, drinking a beer, and watching the Eagles kick the shi# outta the Panthers!!

GO EAGLES!!!

Todd,

what are you using to polish the tails and head lights? I'm planning to do this too. What product would you recommend? Thanks.


Go Seahawks!

Hey Brian,
I just use the Plastx stuff by Meguiar's, and it's worked great for me - I'm a fan of Meguiar's. I don't know what the professionals would recommend though...

Go Seahawks for the win!

Infiniti of Kirkland uses 3m but I heard great reviews from both products. I think i will give Meguiar's a shot.

Greetings from the East Coast! lol

Did you use the Mother's plastic polish to polish the gauge cluster and the climate control display? I've always been hesitant to use it for the interior because the bottle says not to lol.

Thanks.
