Yeah no kidding, I barely made a dent in all the crap on the inside of them. The outside aint bad looking, but I'll have to leave the inside detailing for when I can really dig into them time wise.

 

You really like to make work for yourself.

I washed my car last October just before I put it away, maybe I'll wash it for the big car show in London in June.

I did a good polish on it the year before, no point in going crazy.

Water= rust in all the hidden spots you just can't dry.

I spend more time keeping it clean under the hood, that's the hard part.

 

If a job is worth doing, it's worth doing RIGHT !
Besides, it keeps me outside, less time to argue with the wife ( bless her soul ).

 

I took off the wheels, hosed them down, then used a baby bottle brush on the end of my power driver with some Simple Green or the like...saved a lot of time!

 

Yeah I don't mind spending the time with the car and taking care of it. I know first hand how nice and calming it can be when the gf(not wife just yet) is in a bad mood hahaha.

 

Rode around topless for a bit, and gave the leather a good conditioning with some Lexol... For a 10 year old car, I'd say the interior has held up pretty well! There's some places where the leather is worn in around the left drivers side bolster, and a little stretching of that seat as well. While I was working a 'Vette owner stopped to tell me how much he liked my car, and how hard it was for him to decide between a Corvette and the Crossfire

Greg: These are the eyebrows we've been talking about...Carl

 

Looks good Carl! Wife will most likely get them.. but if I'm lucky and she doesn't like them.. LOL. Oh.. hey I work sheet metal.. Looks like two sets for the price of one.. LOL

 

I'll mail them out 1st of next week...enjoy...Carl

 

The whole front end looks great. I've been debating between the billet grill like yours, and the Zunsport grill...

 

Where do you get the eyebrows?

 

Thank you Carl! They will go on the roadster I'm sure.. .. but they are about to get the "new to us" burn table online.. and I know we've got some 1/16th aluminum around here..

 

I am interested in the eyebrows as well. Let me know

 

Was bored so tried for a different look

Throwing on the matching stripes.. I'd have to give it a "not bad"..

 

My motto is to say nothing unless it is positive so ..............
Fits right in with the AMG logo though.

 

Well I didn't do anything to my Crossfire today but I changed the oil and filter on another members Crossfire who lives nearby.
Her name is Dee
I met her last fall when she bought her Crossfire and joined the forum and CICCI
She loves learning about the car and she has also joined us for her first Crossfire GTG last weekend when we did our Chicago Lakefront Cruise.
She asked about where she should get her oil changed and I answered her with "My Garage"
So she came by tonight and I had already picked up the supplies needed.
Spent about 90 minutes and changed the oil and filter and inspected the air filters etc.
She enjoyed watching and learning how it is done
Also reset the FSS and explained how that works too
Another Crossfire friend and happy customer

 

Nice job, Gary!

 

You sir are a good ambassador for all crossfire enthusiasts ......but we already had that figured out. Spreading the crossfire virus is always a worthwhile venture.

 

Added Archoil 9300 and changed oil to Mobil1 0w02 AFE with new OEM filter.
