Do you use the same Collonite wax Chris swears by?

Nope I used Menzerna for the polishing, then I used Meguiars Synthetic Sealant 2.0

Looking good Ponto!!!

Well did some work on the paint - spent about 3 hours on it with a buddy. Clay Bar, then medium cut polish and a final polish.

Pretty happy with the results - doesn't fix the sand blasted front end or the scratched up rear bumper. But overall a decent improvement. That being said I could easily spend another 3 pr 4 hours on the paint I think... Which I may or may not do before Leavenworth.

And then it snowed.. yay Alberta in May

Next on the list was pads and rotors for the front.. just boring maintenance lol.

Yay boring.

Kinda thought of cleaning up the calipers and painting them either black or silver but undecided sooo dirty and boring they stayed.... Kinda wish I got something other than blank rotors because wannabe racecar. But meh wasn't to concerned.

Still need to do the rear pads and rotors at sometime this summer, did just have my driver side axle replaced. But overall for sitting at 161k I am very pleased with how little I have had to do to this car.
