I don't wax as often as you... maybe twice a year. So I wash every week, or just about... I don't reapply anything other than using ONR wash and wax in a quick detail solution as a drying aid after I use the Coin-Op.

When my wax is fresh, ONR does a great job at keeping the car looking good in-between washes. I love ONR as a clay bar lube and quick detailer... never really use it as directed as a 2 bucket wash soap since washing your car in your driveway is technically illegal in my town.

But I notice after a couple of months the wax begins to fail and the ONR looks great for a day or two after a wash but isn't keeping the car as hydophobic between washes as I would like.

I doubt I will have a chance to actually break out the polisher and do a full corrective on the car before winter... but a clay bar and this Mothers product seem feasible.

Technically the paint on my front bumper is actually starting to fail, so I need a respray anyway. I'm actually super bummed about it... there was nothing there 6 months ago, and now it's starting to chip off and there was never any damage done, the paint has just started to fail and the car was always garaged and has only seen the rain a handful of times since I drive my truck when it gets wet outside.

Weather permitting, I will most likely stack it this weekend with another coat, as I barely used any of the contents of the spray bottle. Stupid easy to apply. Highly recommend this stuff!

I haven't washed my car in about a month since i applied it, weather is all over the place and i don't hav time sometimes, but it held up great

Installed SRI and am borderline regretting it.

Not today but recently, new 17" rims 17x8 and 17x9. Heavy weight came w 18x8 et20 and 18x9 et 32 took a chance. Suckers weigh 16-17 lbs

Did the Euro split armrest. Best interior mod to date. Absolutely loving it. To those who are still undecided.......do it! I know the color I a bit off, but the seller did say it was grey leather. I doubt anyone would care....because I don't. Color is somewhat close enough.

That looks extremely different than your grey interior. It's Palladium Silver from the E9X M interiors.

That said, it is definitely a worthy mod.

Would have been better off with a black sprit arm rest, than this grey.

This colour definitely does not compliment his grey in any way. I personally would not use it if i was in his shoes regardless of how worthy the mod is.

Silver accents, wood grain brown trim, carbon fiber shifter trim, black hand brake handle....just too much going on already and now this too.

Got the M Sport front bumper painted and installed. I've been wanting this look since I first started researching these
cars for purchase a few years back and I've finally got it. Very happy with the quality of paint and install and happy that
my shop was able to make the PDC work.

Finished it off with a shmexy Seibon AK style carbon fiber lip. I love the subtle aggressiveness. It's definitely not a
ground-breaking modification but it's tried and true. You can see the before shot in my signature and I feel that there's
just no comparison.

Just a crappy iphone picture - I'll add better stuff later but needed to snap this after the wash last night.

I thought E9X only had one shade of the grey interior. Had no idea e9x m also had a silver leather interior. It doesn't bother me like I said. The extra armrest is definitely sweet for the driver.

New steering wheel trim + buttons from another car.

Pull off the plastic trim on the edges of the tailgate next to/under the glass. that's where the rust forms; that stupid plastic thing holds dirty damp salty goo against the metal, then it is just a matter of time. I'm not going to put the cover back on once i find a good one.

I will likely be inspecting my hatch this weekend. Last night I put some 15mm spacers I had on the rear of the car. It looks awesome but I will likely swap them out of 12mm. No real rubbing yet but Im a little nervous about it.

I clean under them all the time.
along with all the rear windo molding, it seems to love holding maple spinners.

they're fine. I ran 20s in the rear on stock 17s, no rubbing, and I've loaded my wagon to the bump stops with transmissions and engines in the back.

what, you don't use yours like a pickup?

Today I reseated the MAF sensor and it made no difference. Poop.
