Washed with ph balanced soap, Clay bared, polished with portal cable DA polisher with green pad (light correction) and gold (jeweling pad) and Poli-Seal. Then two coats of Klasse high gloss sealant glaze 12 hours apart. Now it's in show quality and protected until fall. Then loaded the mountain bikes up and took a 35 mile bike ride w/ the wife. Busy weekend so far.

I put a sheet over the windshield b/c I've not ordered a sunshade. 90+ degree weather is awful this week.

Put on a 4" aluminum antenna from mangowalk.com

Sorry, the pic could be a little better. The bottom of the antenna doesn't sit completely flush, but there isn't exactly a gap underneath it either, since it's created from a convex part on the bottom. It came with three screw in adapters, but it's the one with 350Z and S2000 in the title on ebay. $10

Yup, the fit can turn itno one greenhouse on wheels in minutes. Can't wait to do 35% tints all around plus a sun shade up front.

Picked up an Intro-Tech sunshade which works well despite the slight sagging on the passenger side.

I bought a jumbo size sunshade at Kmart & it works really well. Definitely keeps the car cooler. Will be getting windows tinted on Friday.

I will bake a cake today as it is one year old. Taffy White icing of course.

I turned over 15,000 kms yesterday as well. At 20% oil life. Also got 44.5 mpg (Imperial gal) 37 US on last tank. With our new HST (new tax) gas was 99.9 litre.
