Date: Saturday Oct 30, 2010
Time: 0900

Place: Maffu's house (PM him for address) somewhere near Leslie/Steeles

Let's put it out there guys, if it is raining on SATURDAY MORNING, it is an AUTOMATIC cancellation. Do not even show up.

If it is raining Friday night, but cleared overnight and is slightly damp on Saturday morning, but drying, we have a chance!


Equipment and material on hand:
most of my detailing chemicals and my Meguiars dual action polisher.

Will be doing the full semi-annual detailing:
- wash
- clay
- wash
- dry
- step 1 paint cleaner
- buff
- step 2 polish
- buff
- step 3 carnauba
- buff
- seal with Autoglym
- buff
- tireshine (if you already have winters on, or tire clean if you are going to be removing them soon, it would be good idea to scrub them down clean prior to storage)

after lunch

- wash interior leather seats
- vacuum carpet where necessary
- do inside windows


We're meeting for IKEA's $1 breakfast at 0800 at the willowdale location (Leslie/401).

If you are coming, you should bring your equipment too/chemicals too.

 

Zaino FTW !! Sadly i just did my winter detail a few weeks ago. Spent a good 6 hours LOL. I might drop by to say hi though

 

I'm getting Krowned on Sat. As well as possibly doing a winter tire change.
Might not be able to come around.... thanks for the heads up though.

 

^ Hey Neo do you get rust proofed every year ?? Is it okay every other year ?? Im low on cash right now and i know its only 100 bucks but still lol.

Im pretty sure the previous owner rust proofed cause i see yellowish greasy stuff in the door hinges and hood hinges. Not sure when he did it though

 

That's a good question. My friend thought that way too. Now he can't undo the wheel well rust that's developed on his Protege.
It only took that 1 year he didn't get it sprayed.
I'm low on cash as well. But I'm making sure I get it done before the salt starts to fly.

 

I did mine at Krown last week, don't know what got to me. I said I'd keep this car forever, yet I completely overlooked rust proof protection from day 1. I'm doing it now starting, though I already missed the first 2 years of winter driving that I did with no rust proofing.

As I examine the underbody, there is minor rust developing at the front side of the rear wheel arches

 

....8am.....................................I'm going to be buffing the car..then fall asleep and start buffing my face.

 

^ looks like ill find the money somehow then. Can't afford to have my baby rust. I know some places drill holes but ill make sure that's a NO NO when I go.

 

Hey Footman, How much was it at krown? I think i'm going soon too but i'm suppose to get a discount

 

I went to the one at Richmond Hill.. $120 + tax.

 

How long does it take ? Is this a whole day process where you drop off your car for the day or can you wait ?

 

It takes 1 hour only after you make an appointment.

 

I'll try to make it down by 10ish? I don't think i can wake up at 6

 

Damn...its like waking up to go to work..on a weekend!!!

Heh - I did my major winter detail last week... still, I'd join you guys if I wasn't stuck working this week =(

 

I've already stored my car.. Kind of. I need to do a few more things like put a tarp underneath it, plug the exhaust tips, and take out the battery. I figure I didn't need a wax, so I just gave it a good wash after the cruise.

Is there anything I'm overlooking? I've never stored a car for the winter.

But yeah, I might come on saturday to help depending on what work I have to do.

 

^ I haven't put my car away ever for the winter but I know people put their car on jack stands .. So they don't get flat spots on their tires or something. I could be wrong lol

 

Don't put the car on jackstands, it can bend the frame sometimes. Just inflate the tires over spec.

Wool in exhaust tips not needed, unless your storing it in a barn or have problems with vermin.

Just put battery on trickle charger.

Fuel stabilizer in full tank of gas, and oil change prior to storing.

Car cover if parked in a dusty area.

I was going to do it today, when do you expect to be done Footman?

Sunday won't be fun, since most of your bodily parts will be sprained.

 

Guy, it says right there in the title, it's being done on Saturday the 30th.

 

Hmmm I had my oil change done 2000km ago.. I guess that's ok? I definitely have to do the fuel stabilizer and fuel. I'll get that done when it isn't raining since I don't want to wash again.

Thanks guys!

 

Sorry if i sound stupid but who is Maffu?

 

LOL me the guy who sat 2 seats away from you at Chako's

also let's start a list, so I know who's going to be coming, I'd prefer not to have too many people as my driveway is only a 2-car driveway, so we can only fit a certain number of RX-8s

so meet on Saturday at Ikea 8 AM (Leslie and Sheppard) for breakfast, come later if you don't want to meet up in advance for breakfast.
