I like this a lot. Your engine bay always looks amazing. What do you use to clean the inside of the car though? I feel like even using a soft microfiber cloth and water wears off the soft touch paint.

Any tips on products and how to clean the interior best? Do you ever use touch up paint to freshen up the interior? I ordered some on Ebay I'm just still hesitant how to best apply it and with what. I have heard some people using sponges etc to get the "rough" look and texture.

I have never used any paint on the interior
Regular use of Adams Interior Detailer keep things looking nice
Available on Amazon or directly through the Adams Website
I prefer ALL Adams products and have used them for 18 years
See all their products on their website......

I started working on installing inline fuses for the headlight switch for fire prevention. I had ordered the wrong inline fuses, the wires are to thin. The new parts will be hear Friday (today east coast time).
A "How to" with pictures & descriptions will follow as soon as I complete and test everything.

Brought Freya to the shop that's done all the work on her for B service. Only cost 60 bucks ... I bought the filters last week, did the engine air filters myself. Brakes and tires are good, probably good until next summer.

Today I have posted the "How To" for Fire Prevention for the Illumination Control Module (Headlight Switch). This is in response to the recent posts I've read here and on fake book about Crossfires catching fire.
The post is in 3 parts due to the 10 picture limit.
Here is the link: LINK - Fire Prevention Proactive Maintenance

yesterday (wednesday), installed a new top on my blue roadster.
Tuesday, installed a Zunsport Grille on my yellow roadster provided by my favorite British guy, Bob. I plan to paint the support bar in the middle a semi gloss black.
Enjoy some pictures.

A tech friend here posted this on his Crossfire.
I just purchased mine and installed it today.
Just connect the Negative and Positive wires to your battery and attach it to the top with the small 3M two sided tape provided.
It provides this info via Bluetooth on an app on the phone provided with the item purchased
Also has a GPS to indicate where your car is located
NOTE: Battery temperature is after driving about 40 miles at 83 degrees
Its inexpensive and available on Amazon

I uninstalled my bluetooth exhaust.
The dreaded separation of the catalytic converter seam on drivers side.
Got the TIG welder out and made it right.
caught it before it completely separated.So was able to run all the way around converter & added some extra weld at the bottom.
It should be good for another 100k.

So if yours sounds like an Evinrude in a bathtub or get O2 sensor codes, take a second to check and fix your cats.

Just drove it to CT for a family get-together, which doesn't happen at all often - turned over to 77K during the voyage.

This write up By M60 is one of the best write ups of the last 10 years ( https://www.crossfireforum.org/forum...ml#post1000209)
VALK you should move it to TSBs and How-To Articles
I had installed a Batt shutoff switch before reading about the headlight switch,
like on all my crossfires and other cars, what i may do now is move that switch it inside the car,
maybe in the glove box. anyway, thanks M60 great write up. jim

Today I went to the last Monday night cruise for the season. I got a couple of nice sunset pics. This was at the Redhut Diner, in Rockaway, New Jersey.
