The new “what did you do to your Z today” (with off topic replies) XXXVIII

johnxxx · 11-22-2020, 08:09 AM

Good morning!

Picked up my car from the wrap shop yesterday and that back bumper is now perfect! very happy with the results... Before / after pix attached. Notice the many shades of gray from the pix showing partly sunny day vs overcast. ( same camera used )

Went to close my pool yesterday and my utility drain pump been using for years broke and wouldn't turn on... ran to HD for best one they had ( 27 gpm ) but still wasn't good enough to drain below the returns before it got dark out so I can cover. ( have to drain about 7,000 gallons of water to get below returns... didn't turn on the pump until 1:30 and took til 6pm to finish. ). left everything out poolside as calm night in the low 40's with no winds...I'll get this taken care of today... have 6 helpers holding cover so I can snap the springs on...should go quick.

Have a great day everyone and stay safe!

What kind is it? DA polishers are pretty fool proof. Start with soft pads and light compound and work up if needed.

2 passes of Meguires fine cut cleaner and 1 pass of swirl remover 2.0

Still have scratches to work out

but not looking too bad

Noticeable difference there... looking good!

Some smooth jazz really helped

Polished buffed glazed and waxed. Guessing more than one of you woke up the same way
