Meguiar's Smooth Surface Clay Kit
Yeah, looks great! I have that exact same kit sitting on my stairs waiting for a less-than-90-degree day to wash in.
Got a question for you all, though. I'm planning on repairing a rather large key scratch that'* down to the primer along my passenger side (damned ex, probably). Should I clay across the scratch before painting, or would it be best to avoid it with the clay, do the rest of the car, and only clean the scratched area with a solvent like 100% alcohol. I'm not too experienced on paint jobs, and would appreciate any tips you guys have.
Thanks in advance,

You will want to avoid anything that will effect how the paint sticks. Clean the area with a safe solvent and touch it up. Clay only removes embedded debris in the clear coat.
I just got the car tinted and I do like it better tinterd.



Next:
Putting Cross Drilled and slotted Rotors all the way around but found out (when I opened the box) they sent metalic pads (cheap) so I am having to get ceramic pads for the car before that job can be done. I am about getting tired of Ebay sellers saying one thing and sending another item in it'* place
It will make you want to stop buying off of ebay sometimesMy mechanic said i would be much happier with Ceramic pads on the car in the long run and suggested I wait a couple days till I can get some Ceramic pads.
What are the best brake pads to use on our cars? thanks
I will look into the Hawk Front Ceramic pads.
I decided last minute today to change the STINKY OIL in my car!
SUPERCHARGER OIL!!
The dealer wanted $140.00 to do it and I was able to do it myself for $17.00
This dirty oil which had 77,800 miles on it had to be the smellest oil I have ever smelt. The change was very easy and If anyone needs to know how to do it just let me know and I can tell you.
Does anyone know how often you should change this oil in the Supercharger? I have heard every 30,000 miles is the best, but not sure.

Let try to stay on tack of the Thread which was about Meguiar'* Smooth Surface Clay and Detailing...not maintenance stuff! But to avoid any more thread jacking, here'* some info. Now...guys let'* get back on course or start a new thread when new items pop up.
There'* already Tech Info on how to do this in the forum at https://www.gmforum.com/t278817/
And if you use the Mobile 1 at oil change, use the remainder of the oil from that last quart and change you SC snout oil also.
