What did you do to your E30 today?

That carpet is fantastic.

Today I almost stripped all 4 wheels completely. Aircraft stripper is on there now drying

clay bar... WOW is this stuff awesome. just next time, im gonna wash it with dish washing soap, clay it and wax it with something nice.

Im serious clay bar did a number on my car, though it did bring out tons and tons of imperfections that were hidden under the layers of whatever was under the dirt/old wax i still think its a must do for everyone at least once a year.

gonna snap some photos this weekend, should be fun as I have not done this in a long a$$ time.

dude just go buy some cheap car wash concentrate. That stuff is horrible on cars!!

Also you have to be really careful about claying. You are removing a thin layer of the clear coat. If you use it too much or an aggressive clay it will mar your paint. But theres nothing quite like having panels that feel like wet glass. Also theres no need to go over board on expensive waxes. I have gotten some pretty amazing results out of the cheap-o meguiars paste wax. Than a nice layer of some p21s carnauba and its good for a month or so. :p

How about we talk about what I DIDN'T do to my E30 today.

I didn't get home and remove my new wheels/tires from their place in the garage and mount them on my car. I didn't then lower my car down off the jackstands it's been on for a month. I didn't then stand back and admire the beautiful fitment and perfect ride height before jumping and tearing ass out of the neighborhood for a sporty jaunt on the new shoes.

You know WHY I didn't do any of those things?

Because the USPS and their 2-3 day Priority Mail service can take a sugar-frosted cricket bat up the stinkhole. Which translates to my FUCKING adapters didn't show up today. Which means that for both days of this glorious high-70's/low-80's weekend, after 3 weeks of rain, wind, and other equally aggravating and depressing weather conditions, MY car gets to spend the next 48-72 hours on jackstands in the fucking garage.
