Bored today....waxed the calipers

I was so bored and 'down and out' about the car.......I am making a useless post AGAIN,LOL
I ended up polishing the car,cleaning wheel wells and even waxed the calipers!

I need to get a hobby....
Still have to deal with the tiny bit of rust in the inner part of the rotors and CLEAN the engine bay....just need to get it back together so I can wash it!

Sorry guys JUST bored!

Stacy: Did you add some neon lighting in your fender wells without telling us? Those struts look kinda violet coloured.

Interesting, what wax did you use, and can it survive the heat?

Don't worry about it. I've done the same thing. It's the little things that make the difference between a good looking car and a great looking car.

I have a certain feeling your car will end up as a donation to local museum - exactly just like it is on those pictures - no wheels, on a stands.

I do enjoy a 'CLEAN' car...when you walk out the house and look back one last time before closing the door on the way out..........I smile from ear to ear!
Then I realize I am an idiot for NOT driving the WHEELS off of this thing....LOL!

ROFL.....that's what the wife kinda says too!
She figures our garage is just that....a place to show-off the car.Nothing else ALLOWED in there(the car,and fived pairs of shoes and some car artwork on the walls...THAT'S IT).Only problem is the only people looking are her and I.
I guess it is a good thing I/we have a lifetime membership to this museum,LOL!

I always wax mine while I do the wheels - I don't take the wheels off though.

You're talking to the guy that didn't wash his car from when he bought it in November until a couple of weeks ago.....

On the other hand, my Turbo gets washed pretty regularly since it's been in the shop so much.....
