Thanks man but I actually have never waxed this car since I got it.

Still waiting for a favor from a friend to let me borrow a work space to do it.

I use a spray wax and detailing spray but my paint deserves so much better.

I try to keep up with it but it is very hard to do in San Francisco.

Salty air...fog...no garage or driveway...it's very difficult to maintain.

What spray wax do you use? I used mothers, it works good but it's just soft wax in a spray bottle. It still took me 6 hours to do the Durango

Nothing special.

I have used 3M but I haven't done enough research.

Anybody looking to get a nice bottle of spray wax.

I would say Four Star.

More expensive but they make quality shit.

But this was a helpful thread that just came up not that long ago...

Dayum!

Luckily they have more junkyard stock of TL's...

It's difficult enough to find parts for the CL...even if you check junkyards all over the damn nation!

I have put out some many part inquiries online for parts searches...nada.

yea i dont feel like driving to the place its like all these recyclers on one road. Some have websites but i may just suck it up and drive out there and see because those pillars are buggin me.

Plus i was some 02-03 headlights so i can black them out and get some 04-08 headlights so i can try to do a retrofit

I am sure u are right, but whole thing will cost way over a grand and my old car was lowered. I am not sure if I want all those drawbacks back... I would rather get an ECU reflash and underdrive pulleys for the same money

I got my tinting film off the front side windows and barely had enough energy to remove the glue that was left. Now its time to put new tints on. Luckily I didnt have to remove the tint from windshield bc that one cost me $60. Side windows were $20 each

I think that if we are gonna go bowling then why not meet up at the bowling spot where we are gonna bowl.....as far as the pictures go i don't think we have to take pictures everytime we meet up.I'm thinking every couple of meets if they are gonna be like a monthly thing or if we meet every couple of months then we could take pictures everytime then. I think the meets every month is a cool idea. especially for those that may not get out much to do something with the homies on some kick it type shyt! ya feel.... holla back
