Looks good TheAzn. I did the same last year but changed things up a few weeks ago. Hopefully the Oracal vinyl leaves a lot less glue than lamin-x. The film that lamin-x provides leaves a TON of glue behind which made cleaning things up a nightmare.

I hear ya. I do paint protection film everyday and occasionally I would have to remove film, all the adhesive it may leave behind. I just use adhesive remover; wipe it on, let it soak for a few minutes then use a credit card to scrape the glue. I haven't come across any remover solvent hurting plastics.

The other day I noticed my brand-new-bought taillight had condensation inside, and since I'm super OCD when it comes to cleanliness of my SC, I decided to split it open and dry it up! Wasn't so hard, took about 30 minutes to disassemble and reassemble everything. Heat gun FTW!



And me and wifey went to the beach on this hot sunny day! SoCal baby!!!

Default Today...

Sea foam, oil/filter, plugs, wires, cap, rotor, cleaned out throttle body. So has any one ever found their spark plugs ( the well they are in) full of oil? Im hoping the yahoo that owned it last missed the oil filler valve? not a blown head gasket? man what a pain! smoked and ran real bad for a while now better but still a slight miss.
