What did you do with your DH Genesis today?

[Nardly]

Finally got calibers painted

How did you paint your calipers?

I want to paint mine a gold color, however trying to decide should I remove them to paint them or paint them on the car. Removing them seem to be the best option to fully painted them uniformly, but more work for sure.

I painted without removing them. Taped the area I didn’t want to get paint on. I took my time and applied 3 coats.

Cleaned and conditioned all leather and "leather wanna be" materials in the car using Chemical Guys leather cleaner and conditioner. I think it does not look too bad for a car that has 81k miles... ;-)



Also, spent a couple of days in the woods with the family:

Absolutely. I drive 33 miles to work each way everyday and do appreciate clean interior. Makes the commute much more enjoyable.

Nice doggo!

Milo looks Happy!! I totally agree with you. I keep all my vehicles clean like that. Like I said its the only way to have it. Its nice to talk with other people who appreciates such things. I know a guy with a 3 year old Denali Duramax that is so filthy and stinky I will not ride in it! To each is own , but WOW!! Spit cups in console, half eaten Sandwiches on the floor..

Tell me about it! I have 2001 Audi A8L with little over 240k miles on it and trust me, it is much cleaner that some of the 1 - 2 years old cars. And I yes, to each their own but some people take it to another level

Yes Indeed, If anything I take to the other level as far as the cleaning. In the winter my Genny sits inside a heated Garage attached to house. I jack her up and wipe down everything underneath the car from springs to drive shaft. Love My Genny!! I have a 1000 mile road trip planned this weekend , I feel Like a little kid waiting to get behind the wheel. Such an Awesome Automobile Through and Through!! 240K on the A8? That tells me how well you take care of your things/Autos!!

I also agree, I have a 2019 XT4 and a 2018 G80 Sport and every other weekend I clean each car, inside and out. Just gave the XT4 a complete detail, G80 is this weekend. To me that is my relaxation, keeping my car clean.

Oil catch can last week. Since no one makes catch cans for the DH I decided to fit a universal one on my 3.8. The catch can is a universal ebay one but I was actually very surprised by the quality of it. The only issue I had fitting it in was finding hoses that for the barbs it comes with. I had some free time today so I stopped by home depot to buy a 12×24 in piece of sheet metal and build a heat shield for my intake. Anytime I check under the hood after a long drive the intake is burning hot.

Nicely done! Chemical Guys have pretty good products.

Thank you. Yes, they do. I like their cleaner because it only removes dirt, not the paint. I used it on my friends 1975 Fiat 125P and it did excellent job:

WOW! Night and day...

I love all my Chemical Guys stuff. I'm pretty sure I'm single-handedly keeping them in business! Innerclean, Leather 1 Step, Citrus wash, Bug and Tag remover, Wheel cleaner, Tire shine, and just a few months ago, Medium clay bar, and Liquid Carnuba Extreme Depth with X Seal. I think I've forgotten a product or two. Hah! Also, shout out to the paint quality on these cars, my '15 Empire State Grey after that Wax/Seal looked better than most new cars!

THANK YOU!! Nobody I ever say that to seems to get it! Keeps me Zen, even if I happen to find a new blemish thanks to others incompetance/lack of give-a-shit... I really need to vacuum all the popcorn out of mine from our road trip last week...
