    Talking POS' Polishing Perversion Persists

    Started polishing on the POSIV all I got done tonight was step one of which is Menzerna Final Polish II. Turned out pretty good but plan to repeat this entire step again tomorrow.

    Seems as if we may have had some oxidation issues....


    As long as it is not raining I'll bring the POSIV to Keller's!

    I like the wing I think it is just high enough that Jimmy will not be able to hoist his lunch box onto my trunk lid.

    I'm still trying to figure out how to remove it. I removed the hardware I could see on it last night but couldn't get it to budge......

    Double-sided tape most likely. Try to run work some dental floss between the bottom of the wing and the trunk lid to break it loose.

    Floss is for 's

    Dead blow hammer - stand behind the car and swing up toward the lower back edge of the wing. Don't worry about the rear window

    Use the same technique on that Cali car to get the wing you want.

    Are you going to put on a bigger wing like this one?
    Great to see a shiny car.

    My car exceeds my driving ability. That's the only possible explanation.
