Anyone else just get lazy and just do the front hood?

S4to335 · 06-08-2008, 02:28 AM

I dont have access to any of the THREE bays of my THREE car garage..so I dont park the car in there...and as such it gathers dust faster than a hoover. So, when I want to do a nice clean/polish/claybar/wax job..I got no where to go. Well today when we had a garage sale at the house..I decided to at least do something..so I ended up JUST doing the hood.

Anyone else a lazy bum like me?

i used to do that then i started polishing and thought, this is nothing compared to actually polishing the whole car which i must do haha

Man, with a BMW with stock pads, cleaning the wheels makes the entire car look brand new again.

I usually don't mind the car being a little dirty, but the wheels has to be clean. Some peeps in my neighborhood drive their bimmers and benz until the wheels turn grey, to black, then some @#$%-up brownish color.

I only ever do hoods. It's a specialty of mine.

i usually do the front bumper, hood, side mirrors every once a month, and then the whole car every 3 months.

when my front pads needed to be replaced i swapped them w/ low dusting after market pads. i admit they don't have the 'grip' of the stock pads but the brakes dust is way less.

to give you an indication on how much the after market pads dust - when i had stock pads on all four i thought, 'if the fronts would only dust as little as the rears my life would be much easier'. well, w/ the lower dusting front pads, my stock rear pads dust more then my after market front pads !
