Dropped a Genny today!

Same here. I would only let someone detail it after I could confirm they do legit work. My trust in others went even lower after my cousin told me some guys used a blade to remove gum from his paint...maybe the stupidest thing I've heard. There are a ton of other ways to remove gum (soap and some elbow grease work fine), a blade should never be touching the paint unless you're trying to mess someone's ride up.

If you zoom in where the sun hits the car, those are swirl marks right? Can they be removed by polishing?

Are those the TSX wheels on the Genny?

btw those new Varrostoen's look great!

xtcnrice

^ Yeah those are swirls; nice car btw

And those are the stock Genny wheels if I'm not mistaken.

xtcnrice

Something about this side profile makes the Genny look awkward... the door handle and door looks out of place?

Dropped on coils?

MC MiYoung3269

Yep they're stock Genny wheels, the 18's. And it probably looks weird because that photo is overexposed in that area, hiding the body line that the handle flows with and yes, coils

iCrap

VR1 your car is swirled ridiculously lol.

EhkoXC

I know... Moving is a pain in the ass.

I just want my car all clean any shiny again.

I frequently forget if I have already washed my hair while I am in the shower. Does this happen to anyone else?

xtcnrice

nah.. I wash it first and tend not to forget

ssjoeboe9

Me too! But I forget if I did step 1

iCrap

You might be retarded

opboarding

Sometimes I wash my hair twice on accident, don't worry Joe.

If you haven't ever done this then you are probably a robot.

ssjoeboe9

Thanks, I feel more normal now!

opboarding

Glad to help Joe.

Because as we all know, I am the most normal person here!

^ It's wearing a diaper...

xtcnrice

^I see cars with that shit everywhere when I'm in NYC. Never see it in Toronto though.

iCrap

lol those things are all over NYC cars. looks so dumb.

ssjoeboe9

Wtf is it?

xtcnrice

some sort of bumper protection

iCrap

protection for your car when parking in the city.

rawger

Because New York.

xtcnrice

that's fucked lol I'd so curb my wheels everytime I needed to park in the city

home of the best (worst?) parallel parkers?

rawger

Weirdest I did in the shower was take a soap bar to my hair and then I was like WTF am I doing?

iCrap

honestly i don't see the point of owning a nice car in NYC. 90% of them are fucked up. I have family there bigass Mercedes thing is all dented up and scratched.

rawger

Yep. I'd just buy a beater if I really needed something and call it a day. It's also why the subway and taxis are major forms of transportation.

rawger

Now I'm on a YouTube parking video spree...

This guy got owned doe.

xtcnrice

^lol seen this. Hilarious. Knowing how much of a douchebag the driver in the white car was in the first place, he probably came out and fucked up the red car after the guy left.

rawger

The girly giggles at the end kill me though haha. But for real, how are you going to do that to someone and just leave with your top open? I'd imagine whoever that was took a piss on the driver seat at least lol.

LMFAO the ending was perfect.

VR1

Thanks!


Is it possible to polish out the swirls by hand? Like by doing something like this? http://www.meguiarsonline.com/forums...Swirls-By-Hand

xtcnrice

^You can, but it's a lot of elbow grease. Typically people don't do it by hand for the entire car... you're looking at wayyyy too much elbow grease, and you'll less be likely getting all the swirls out. But hey if you don't wanna buy a machine polisher, that's one way to do it

damaged442

I don't know how long that would take. I think my arms would have fallen off. Took me long enough using a machine polisher! You can pick up a Porter Cable 7424 with pads and it isn't too expensive. The ends justify the means.

iCrap

yea it'll be a ton of work. Unless you hire a group of mexicans to hand polish your car... which may end up being cheaper than buying a DA.

xtcnrice

they'd probably put the swirls back in though!

Shame they turned almost every mister donut into a dunkin donuts here state side.. Sad story

VR1

lol




Anything cheaper then the 7424? Something >$200 would be ideal. Otherwise I'll just by some swirlX and do it by hand one day.
