What did you do on your car today?
Moderators: Moderators, Senior Moderators
I washed and waxed my brand new one week car for the first time. I used Meguiar's (gold class shampoo, gold class wax) and micro fibre cloths.
I discovered a small paint chip has happened on the front plastic grill area
Also, despite doing my best washing and waxing thoroughly, after I was all done I've noticed some water spots on the bonnet if you look at it in the sun in a certain way. I'm not sure if they are from some rain I encountered this week, or if they are from the air drying too quickly before I could get there with the towel
I don't want to wash and wax the whole thing again so soon though, so I'm not sure if I'm going to leave it, or try again to just do the bonnet, or what. I feel pretty sad over the whole venture, it took me over an hour.

That's not bad at all. It's good to know another chrome lover out there.

Got a 4 wheel alignment. Hoping it'll save my tyres from further uneven wear. The before readings were expectedly terrible: +.8mm one side, -.2mm the other for front toe.
Backstory: 3 of my 4 tyres have the outside edges scrubbed pretty bad. With less than 14,000kms on the clock, the tyres don't seem like they'll make it past 20,000kms.

After I spent the weekend busting my butt to clean and wax my car... I parked it at work yesterday and a huge truck came along, parked across the road, then cut down and woodchipped an entire bloody giant eucalyptus tree; covering my entire car in dust and wood
When I got home I sprayed it down with the hose... and all the water then beaded and dried into water spots all over it.
