Default What are you doing this weekend?

Low 80's on Sat and Sun so:

1. Hand wash
2. Wax with Maguire's Tech wax 2.0
3. Full interior detail, leather conditioner and dash detail.
4. Install the aluma look ring gauges that have been in my garage for months.
5. Clean the throttle body
6. Head out to Bartlett Lake Road for a twisty 28 mile top down run.

How about you?

Have a Great Weekend everyone!

Consider slipping in a clay bar effort between wash and wax if you feel surface contaminates after wash. Big benefits for little effort. I use Meg NXT 2.0 as well, nice choice! I am WAY jealous as this weekend is snowing and I love pampering washing/waxing.

I will be hunting to fix an annoying vibration in my center console and one in driver door by my elbow... still stuck in off-season jobs.

Enjoy the Ride!

Full detail for me as well.
Wash, clay and two step polish with Menzerna 4500 applied with my new Rupes polisher. Haven't decided on the wax yet. May go with the Swissvax or maybe Blackfire.
Tuck her away since next weekend is the Porshce showcase at the Amelia Island Concourse de Elegance. My little 996 will be among 30 other P-cars representing the brand in a special showcase on the lawn.

Thanks Viper. Everytime I drive around the campus these days I almost drive into trees. The yoga pants are very distracting.

Going to do a 2 step polish on the Turbo, taking the 993 to the body shop for polishing. Getting both ready for the Amelia Island Festival of Speed Porsche Display.

We had a foot of snow last Sunday, now mid sixties staying that way through the weekend.
