Sudden loss of visibility on the road and such wasn't my concern... it was making my car dirty. |

I took off my front bumper just for the hell of it My wife is out of town, so I can drive her car which is also good because the Z is freshly washed and the weather is nasty.
And, for some reason I cannot understand, I polished the front bumper reinforcement

And that was a small one! I had to haul *** to beat a huge dust=devil before it crossed the road.
These are our little "tornadoes", lol. The only destruction is to your paint and interior (if you get caught with your windows down). |

I had my bumper off too early this week, would have totally done that lol. As for me, I took my car to the dealership, got my Steering lock changed for free, I waited around for 1 hr and had her back, so not bad at all. Oh and I installed my lip and EVO R emblem while I had the bumper off

I used two of them the day prior to clean my exhaust tips with Adam's Metal Polish 1 and 2. That stuff works amazingly well. My previous experience with metal polishes has been so poor, I am sold on this stuff. Lip and emblem look great, btw

Dropped one part of my Evo-R lip back off at the wrap place. They are going to try a new material in hopes of it sticking better. If that doesn't work, I'll be spray painting the darn thing satin black.

Without that haze, or something else to protect the aluminum from oxygen (like wax), aluminum will actually corrode and decay at an alarmingly rapid rate. Google "Aluminum Rust Mercury" for more info. Basically Mercury, when in direct contact with unprotected aluminum, will prevent formation of aluminum oxide on the surface, resulting in rapid decay of the aluminum. It's spooky how fast it'll go. And there's your nearly worthless information of the day. |

Wasn't driving the Z though. Rental car FTW. So yeah, that's what I did with my Z today. I let it sit in the drive back home. |
