Austin Area TW Chapter (all gens welcome, even T4Rs; heck, just make it a Toyota and we're good)

Haha!!! I know I know.

I'd say you have the right idea. Just a bunch if dead bugs, or you got mud clots too?

I'll revert back to the simple green probably.

 

If it comes to it... I'll get you a high class high faluten restraining order. Complete with shirts and hats.

 

Haven't got a clue what it could be....

 

Well if there's one thing we know...it doesn't have anything to do with Bastrop

​

 

not the truck/wax... but components are ok

 

By who?
​

If anybody wants the real scoop on detailing they should ask
@WebberLander

His truck actually gets dirty

 

Damn, that's scary.
​

I don't ever let it sit and dry.

 

Bad Wolves is a great upcoming Hard Rock band if you're into that sort of music!

 

Looking through some of their stuff now

 

I'm not really in a rush so I sent them my info and asked for them to get back to me when they can.

 

She will get back with you in sure!

 

@Kel2427 , Really liking all them so far (bad wolves)! and they'll be in ATX on Aug 1 at COTA apparently

with FFDP, Breaking Benjamin, and Nothing More... Holy shit... I'm gonna have to go to this! Anyone wanna go? doubt the wife will

 

Depends on what you're using SimpleGreen for and what dilution level you put it at. It also depends these days on what Simple Green product you're using / talking about. For example they have a wheel/tire cleaner. That should never be used on the painted surface of the vehicle. I personally wouldn't use that stuff on wheels especially aluminum finished wheels. It can be good to break up dirt on the tires themselves, but that's about it.

Personally I stay far away from SimpleGreen and vehicles in general. I don't even use it in engine bays due to there being so many plastics now under the hood. There are so many specialty products that have been developed and chemically tested for their application, the term "General Cleaner / De-Greaser" scares me these days.

Chad and I have been talking about a detail day in the future when its not so hot in which we could do a good class if you will on how to detail your rig. Everything from the simple wash all the way to correction, polishing etc. We could even break this into different sections of the vehicle (painted surface, plastics, wheels/tires, engine bays, interior, under carriage .... I could go on and on).

 

Pull the radiator and clean it with the hose with no attachments, then with Rad out the way, wash out the AC condenser and fan clutch.

 

We had a modified blow gun like this to blow out the radiators on Trooper’s vehicles.

Edit: ^^​

 

not a bad idea to go full on. Ac pulley sqawks real bad at times too

 

Question for a buddy- anyone got a beater of a car that runs, can seat 4 (including a baby seat or two), and don't need more than like $2500 for it?

Actually for a buddy, not for me. His VW bit it and they're stuck with 1 car, which is tough with 2 kids.

 

I just had to share this post with everybody!!!
