What did you do to your car today?

[VF-X]

Changed my plate number LED. The last one broke when my alternator got fixed/replaced.

[Silver-Aurion]

Drove her to Sydney (from Cessnock), gave her a bath the best as I could with the given resources, then took here to the Sydney monthly meet at Villawood where she got to socialise with a bunch of Corollas.

On a side note...

unique: I retract any previous statement I said about my car being clean. I was in well over my head. I vote -DAvo as having the cleanest Aurion around... without a doubt.

Haha. Really? Why is that?

[DJKOR]

Haha. Really? Why is that?

Because... it is. I would even bet it's cleaner than yours :P

As for today's effort, I fed her some Ultimate to keep her happy.

[Hiro]

Drove it to Sydney, then up to Wisemans Ferry and back out to Calga on a Twincam cruise, then back home

[Foss]

Just wandered outiside, saw how dirty she was, and decided to give her a full detail. Then I wandered back in here to my office, saw that its 5:20 already (damn this going to bed at 5am business!) and I don't have the 6 or more hours I normally like to spend giving her a good going-over.

I'll just take her to the car wash in town and give her a quick one to tide her over til next weekend.

Removed the roof + bike racks due to an upcoming cut and polish.

She looks so different. I have never seen my camry without them on before...

[Ascendant Rice]

Washed all the crap of my mud guards and resprayed them :) good as new

[Silver-Aurion]

Okay, well, yesterday was my 21st birthday and I had about 30 people over, family and friends. All of a sudden from a sweltering hot day it turned into heavy rain and cold. Typical Melbourne weather.

We had the BBQ outside in the backyard but when it starting pouring down we had to take it undercover and the only place was in the garage were my car was parked :(

The BBQ was halfway in the garage and the other half outside.

I thought nothing would happen but after everyone left, I went to look at the car and it had sut alllllll over it like it was near a building demolition site!

Worst of all my mates had written all over the windows "wash me", "clean me".

I had just gave it a 3 hour detail 2 days ago :(

So anyway, it was an excuse for me to clean it today, this time it took me 4 and a half hours, everything was done by hand. No machine buffing.

And so here are the pictures, I'm very happy with the outcome.

Hey, this is what did you do to your car today, not what did someone else do to your car :P

i sprayed niteshades (outside its directed use) on some plastic chrome bits for a smoked look. massive fail! it just beaded up. creative thinking gone bad

Bit of a solo cruise with the missus. Looked at it and felt bad. Continuous rainfall does not do wonders for it.

Most filthy it has ever been.
