    I let mine idle for 15 minutes.
    I need to clean up my rotors and put new pads on after the last DE event I went to.
    waiting on wheels and brake pads.

    At least it's safe to swim there. No alcohol on boats is a good thing here. Lewisville Lake isn't so kind.....

    You just have to man up. I went through three soaking wet shirts and 6 big cups of water during my detail. It's a labor of love.

    i manned it up even more and wore the same soaking wet t-shirt the whole time. i wanted to just throw it out after i was done

    today i plan on detailing the interior, then i'm going to stare at expensive parts on the internet and try to not order them
