yah as long as your steering wheel is straight (or close enough) and your thrust angle is fine no need to change the front.

but your car will probably feel tighter if you give it 0.03 to 0.05 per side as well.

Yes, no toe up front is how I run mine. Helps keep the turn in crisp.

Keeps the towels plush. I hang dry only.

Thanks for the input...and for the record, I just enjoy giving you shyte for the Griots references. Please continue to post the references/recommendations (sans the asterisks) because it's starting to wear me down to the point I'm ready to grab my wallet!

I will admit, that while I'm really interested in using a random orbital, I'm also a little wary. How often do you do a machine polish? Once per year? How much time does it take you? 4-6 hours?

interval depends on how much swirls you have and how much you want to remove.

typical hazing will only take a couple of hours to do as i would only use my one mild polish, but if you're doing deeper swirl removal chances are it will take an entire day cause you'd need to do 3-4 different polishes (steps).

it's a time consuming process but goes MUCH FASTER vs by hand.

Installed my reverse LEDS finally, and installed my subwoofer/amp to get a little beat in the car.

Vince's Red-Z · 05-29-2011, 07:47 PM

I changed Jillian's oil (Mobil 1 Special Blend 10/30) added Water Wetter then, my dog Bob and I went driving like a maniac to ensure of no leaks...etc... Washing her tomorrow.
