Hi Guys...

We all know the good waxes to use, like the meguiars gold class, but i was thinking more of the commercial deals where you dont have to wax for months...

Crystal car wash offers a full clean & wax for $325, and they reckon you wont have to wax the car for 14 months guaranteed.

This works out to about $23 per month to not wax the car and have a good look...bargain or not ??

Are there any other options out there ??

www.5starshine.com

www.formula113.com

www.splashgroup.co.uk

the list goes on..

Are these deals any good, just a con, or do they actually damage the paint ??

S100, Pinnacle Souverain or Clearkote Vanilla Moose are the best waxes to use. They give the deepest "wet look", but take a lot of maintenance (have to reapply every two months or so depending on what the car goes through)...

If you want durability, go for Zaino... It's a synthetic polish/wax and lasts for AGES and is extremely durable and hard wearing.

As Merli said, S100 is the best.

If you want good + easy to get then you can try Meguirs number 26 which is available at auto stores in a beige bottle with a 26 on it.

I haven't tried that but I have tried Meguirs gold class and found it to be pretty ordinary/average.

I havent seen any retail stores stocking S100 yet. Have you Merli?

Yes... I bought a tub from the Harley Davidson Dealer on Parramatta Rd, near Homebush...

I had to call them and get them to grab one from their warehouse before I went in... Make sure you get the WAX which comes in a tub, as they sell quite a few "S100" products.

Merli, where do you get Zaino? thanks

I don't think there's an Australian Distributor just yet... I was going to get my American friends to order some and send it to me, but haven't gotten around to it yet.

They have a singaporean distributor, and I'm sure they would be able to ship you some.

      Well some mostly good news and some slight bad news.  Good news is cylinder 6 did in fact only require a honing and I'm good to run my 86.5mm pistons again. I should also get the block back by end of week. Bad news, had a few surprises pop up. First, main and rod bearings were trashed. No sign of any heat damage. I knew right away what caused this... I had not packed my oil pump originally and spent a lot more time than I would have liked cranking the motor to get oil pressure. It sounded fine once started so I chucked it up to luck and forgot about it. Luckily rod and crank are fine and just need new bearings. Engine builder agreed that this was the cause.    Another surprise that carbon covered up very well that I didn't catch, something got sucked up and went through cylinder 1, 2 and 3. Luckily this was no cause for concern, just needed a bit of cleaning up. Valves look fine but he will vacuum test the head this week to confirm. I'm presuming this was something left over from welding my intercooler piping, but we'll never know. I'm going to thoroughly reclean everything.    So all in all, happy the motor is fine, and I'll get it back much sooner than expected. I'll also be taking the time to convert my WMI system over to direct port. I'll snap some pictures of that when the parts come in.

      I understand, thanks. Yeah I wouldn't want the car to tip over, I'll try and use the sills, I don't want to risk smashing the chassis rails. I ordered some rubber pucks that have a hopefully big enough slotting. If the front right gives me trouble I can always just make a wood block. I'll measure and inspect the sills closer once I actually take the car up. I hope so, but the rubber blocks I had in hand so far were pretty damn firm, if they are that hard they won't give much way. I'll let you know what happens. Angle grinding rubber isn't one of my favorite tasks. I'll probably start a build thread soon, for my own documentation and "log" as well as sharing what's going on with the car.

      Kinda something I have been thinking about.  To be honest, we bought it already driving like that.  So there's no telling how long it actually has been driving like this.  Hopefully damage is too bad when we drop the pan.   I am having a hard time finding a site that sells the solenoid for the 5 speed auto, do you have any suggestions?
