Ooops! Link fixed.

Well, had some time on my hands, as well as some good weather. Finally!!! We've been bombarded with cold temperatures, rain, and snow. You can find the pictures here, http://s124.photobucket.com/albums/p28/ARa...S400/1-08-2007/ Hosed down the entire car Washed wheels with Maguires' NXT Generation car wash. Washed car with Maguires' NXT generation car wash. Used a squeegee on windows Clay barred the entire car for a smoother finish. (It's better that you use gloves, keeps your skin oil off of the clay bar!) Maguires' Paint cleaner step 1. (I let it sit for about 10 minutes) Maguires' Polish step 2. (I let this sit for about 15-20 minutes) Maguires' Wax step 3. (I left this sitting for a good hour) Cleaned glass with Windex Vacuumed interior Sprayed Febreeze to kill odors Cleaned rubber mats Used Maguires' Wax step 3. (I left this coat on for another 2 hours) Total time: 5 and a half hours. I'm very pleased with the results. Maguires' NXT Generation car was solution is absolutely worth the money imho. Really does get the contaminants off and out of the paint. Leaves a fresh smell too! The only thing I wish I had was a way to paint clean, polish, and wax with a machine. I'm down to my last $300.00, and I need to find something that will LAST, and give me good/excellent results as to other machines as well. And no, I'm not going to walmart, or some other auto shop :P What do you guys and gals think?

Search craigslist, there's a GS400 black on black, fully upgraded!

It's your alternator. It's gonna be costly to replace =/

I really don't know why, or how for that matter, the last owner of this car kept his paint clean. It has taken me more than a MONTH to get ALL of the dirt, grime, dust, and whatever else was stuck in the paint. I literally scrubbed every nanometer on my car. I just did a paint clean and a polish yesterday, and it looks AMAZING now. Only problem is, my Mom has my camera, and my brothers' camera is a joke. I'll try my best and get some pictures up by the end of this week if I'm not committing any time to work, or my girlfriend(s) for that matter. The only problem I have left is cleaning the head lights. The shine lasts for a while, and then the scratches start to appear. Would anyone have any tips on how to remove such annoying things?

Still in production/brainstorm I sense :D

bump D:

I have a GS 400, and my muffler tips are outrageously DIRTY! I've tried everything from grease and tar removers, quick foam grease removers, sanding ( lightly ), and nothing seems to get the finish I want out of them! My 400 has about 130k miles on it.

Check your muffler. Sometimes if there is a leak, there can be emissions leaking from under the car into small crevices that lead into your car. To remove the smell, I would suggest getting a shampoo cleaning.

Helijet, are these surface scratches? To check, try taking your finger nail, and feeling the scratch LIGHTLY! If your finger nail goes deep inside the scratch, I would recommend the surface paint for it. If the scratches are not deep, get a scratch remover. ( !Removed! to use though ). It's a liquid polish that you place onto the scratch, and use a towel in circular motion to rub out the scratch. Don't let it set in though. If it gets too dry, it'll be hard to get out.

I had a similar problem with my GS 400. I was driving with the fuel light on for about 30 miles, and after I refueled it, the check engine light turned off. I removed, and reattached the gas cap, and then turned my car back on. Sometimes that light is a little tricky, but you have to find a way to turn it off =]

I woke up around 7 in the morning to do a light wash ( water only ), with a quick polish, and a slow wax. All were Maguire Products. Light Wash with water Dry off with leaf blower ( it REALLY does work! ) Quick detailing with clay Polish Cleaning the rims and tires Window cleaning Quick detail Took me about an hour and a half to do all of this. http://s124.photobucket.com/albums/p28/ARa...nt=DSC00279.jpg http://s124.photobucket.com/albums/p28/ARa...nt=DSC00278.jpg http://s124.photobucket.com/albums/p28/ARa...nt=DSC00277.jpg

Check your spark plugs.

Let me know how this sounds! http://youtube.com/watch?v=jFkWUJ0OF6A

I'm up for it! I say we go down to Liberty State Park in NJ!

I threw out the idea for under glow lights. In exchange, I will be changing OR possibly cleaning my mufflers. Dirty as HELL!!!!

This morning while I was going to school, I was listening to my CD's, and all of a sudden, the touch screen froze. It wouldn't power off, go to climate, navigation, or anything! I pulled over and shut off the car, and turned it back on. The screen was working fine afterwards. Is this a flaw in the screen?
