  1. Most of it is. The only major cosmetic parts of the interior that are still original (as far as I know anyway) are the seatbelts, dash pad, and top of the dashboard. Over the first winter me and my dad gutted the whole thing, unfortunately I don't have any digital photos of the restoration (used throwaway cameras). We replaced the seats, carpets, door panels, speaker grills, dash trim, steering wheel, console door, the plastic side panels on the console, shifter knob and boot, all weatherstrip and window felts. We found over $6 in loose change interspersed throughout the car...still in a paper cup in the garage.
  2. I love 90s cars that look brand new:thumbsup: awesome job
  3. I used it to clean my daily driver's engine that had never been cleaned before, much easier on tough grime than APC
  4. I like the contrasting colors Rich, you and AJ know how to dress up the interior while still maintaining good taste. I wrote myself a to-do list for when I do the vette before the first show, here's the interior part Vacuum carpets, visors, behind/under/between seats. Clean dashboard, steering wheel, vents, gauge cluster, console, pedals, speaker grilles, buttons, e-brake handle Leather Conditioner on dash, door panels, shifter knob and boot, steering wheel Glass Cleaner on interior glass and mirrors Metal Polish on seatbelt buckles Leather Conditioner on seats this is the only interior picture I have online at the moment, it's a year old and a few things are different. I'll take loads of new pics once I get her re-adamized for 09...weather has been uncooperative for the past few weeks
  5. Don't worry Bill, I can process your riches for only $4999 and I don't even need your SSN
  6. $300 at bingo at Foxwoods, 2 days after my 20th birthday, I think I still have the pic I took yup I found it haven't won anything close to that much ever since though, ha Rich those are cool I might need to look into getting some
  7. When I did the door jambs on my Taurus, I just used a couple of cheap Costco mf towels, damp with water and apc, to remove all the dirt and grime that had accumulated over the winter. They came out sparkling clean. Just don't be like the 'expert' from that video who sprayed water on the door jambs and sills of the Bentley with the doors open
  8. if you want to remove wax or sealant that's already on the car in order to 'start from scratch' using all Adam's products, you can wash the car with Dawn dish soap. The degreasing power of the soap will strip the wax from the car. You'll probably want to do this in the shade as well, because while Adam's soap is ok to let dry on the car before rinsing, I'm not positive that Dawn is. If you don't want to go this route then using the clay bar and Revive Polish should get the old stuff off as well
  9. there are plenty of ATM's around where anyone can find other people's balance receipts for this purpose
  10. What company do you use to print the cards? I've had business cards among other things made from overnightprints.com and found the quality to be exceptional, and it is fairly inexpensive
  11. use a black stroke like on 'Deep Reflections Detailing' I made a business card sized Adam's logo with just the phone number and website address, but Jason removed it because I think they want just Rich (marylandvette) to do stuff with the logo
  12. With the MF applicators, first I spray with APC and agitate, then hose with cold water and wring them out. Depending on how soiled they were I'd then throw them in the wash bucket with cold water and woolite (put the grit guard on top of the pads to keep them submerged) and let them soak for a while....they come out looking like new
  13. it also prevents the backing plate from rubbing on the polisher which can burn the unit out quick
  14. driving an antique ferrari around the roman colosseum...........epic
  15. Yes you still need to use the washer that came with your PC
  16. I liked the part where he did everything wrong
  17. Rich and Teresa, the rear wheel wells are painted. One of the first things my dad did to his 08 when he got it was put undercoating on the rear wheel wells to a. prevent paint damage, and b. so all 4 wheel wells looked the same.
  18. I don't know if it's the same thing, but once I had two dreams back-to-back, and in the second dream I was explaining the first dream to someone
  19. Crossfire is one of my favorite cars, looks good Anthony
  20. I use the old stuff, my bottle is still quite full. The original formula is pretty amazing in itself, so I can't even begin to fathom how much easier the new one is with all these beaming reviews..I better start using up my old stuff fast. I only use it on the insides of the windows, the outsides get Detail Spray with the rest of the car, then BSG:
  21. There is definitely a difference, even between different brands of bottled water. Poland Spring is the best IMO At Carlisle 07 Adam had a bunch of coolers filled with ice and those waterbottles, handing them out to everyone since it was so ungodly hot out
  22. Look at what I found this morning I think it's from Carlisle 2007
  23. exactly how I would describe it. either that, or APC for lazy people, since GWC eats through grime so well it requires next to no scrubbing or wiping APC still works great though. I brought my patio furniture out from the basement today and cleaned it all down with APC. I thought about polishing/waxing the painted parts too, but I didn't have enough time to do that AND see a doctor afterwards:lolsmack:
  24. Awesome hardware, you deserve it for the great job you did with your car Gotta love dark red
