What did you do to your car today?


Recommended Posts


Just put a coat of wax on the car - wasn't as cold outside as I thought actually, quite nice weather for waxing :) Now along with the shine I've got gloss, car has come up brilliantly :clap: Need a full sun day to see if all of the swirl marks are gone but so far so good, a heap of the scratches (including the one that 'pushed me over the edge') are gone and the deeper ones are much less noticeable, very very happy :D

Don't you just hate those scratches! Especially the deeper ones? <_<

Today I gave the car a full make over. Wash and wax, leather treatment, dash and trim, deep vacuum, tyre shine and windows all wiped down.

Far out it's clean now. So happy I decided to clean it today. At first I was really in a cbf mood but I'm glad I did it. While I was at it I fixed the squeak from the gear lever area.

You can see the fix here:

Replaced the battery, redoing all the electrical connections and terminals whilst I was at it (mmm 0 guage ground cable) and replaced the windscreen (had a 2mm scratch in the lower left corner below where the rego sticker usually goes) :rolleyes:

top up with Castrol GTX 20W50... not draining whats left of the oil and replacing the filter when I'm a week out from a service... and I need to pay for it so i can get my warranty book stamped...

on the plus side, the existing oil whilst slightly discoloured is looking nice and clean. Would dare say that someone has put synthetic oil in at the last service hence the less than desirable fuel consumption (whilst good could be better)... I have specified to the garage what I want done - Castrol GTX oil, leave the pod filter alone, i've just serviced it, and don't fix anything without telling me... lets hope they keep up their end of the bargain...
