I watched the DYC video on the stuff and once he said "citrus based," I knew what direction I was going. I have a bottle of Goo Gone, I don't have Dip Dissolver.

When I saw the bottle of Dip Dissolver, I was like, "looks like the citrus boat cleaner from Walmart."

Simple Green is a great product, but it does not dissolve the Dip like Goo Gone. It's also debatable whether SG is safe on auto paint.

So today was a good Z day. I had gotten a call from DMV last Thursday night about 4:30 p.m. that my specialty plates were in...they closed at 5, Friday was a government holiday, so I didn't get to pick them up until this morning. Over the past week, all the home car care products came in from Amazon, so since I had to take my old (3 week old ) plates in to the DMV, figured I'd clean her up before I put the new plates on...below are my results! p.s. Ignore the flys on the hood...couldn't shoo them away for anything and didn't use a flyswatter for obvious reasons...

Can you show us on the doll where the evil plasti-dip touched you?

Agreed! Unless you like cars that appear to be made of play dough.

Today's box of goodies included stillen pulley and one step colder plugs, then I looked at the Z for a few while wishing it didn't rain so much.

The pulley is a worthy mod.

Pulleys are awesome! Flywheels are better! The combination is amazing!

As for what I did, I spent the day in constant deliberation about picking up a Bride seat, or two.

I opened it up for the first time in a week due to traffic.

Nice plates and nice shots. Picture 3 -- without the plates it's a shark, with the plates our cars look like a rabbit. Congrat on the Z! Best car care product I got was the porter cable DA polisher. Great investment and I highly recommended it.
