While I had the FJ inside I replaced one of the inner fender trim pieces. I bought the full set (4) a few years ago, but only had to replace 2, but I noticed 1 of the others had gone. Luckily the plastic clips were still good, the original trim piece was shredded and came out in multiple pieces, what was still there of course.
So i finally found a use for this bottle of Meguiars Carnuba wax that ive had maybe ten years. Not that its a bad product.
Took my Grandson to the playground (at the school) near where i live. There are three plastic sliding boards on the playground and i gave them a treatment with the Meguiars and turned them into super slides.
There was a bunch of kids up there for a summer day program. They loved the super slides.

More chainsaw detailing today!
Before adding a West Coast Saw Bark Box to my new MS 500i, I thought I may as well give it a little attention before installation. The Bark Box replaces the standard front muffler plate with a 304 stainless steel item. Hand made in the USA and featuring TIG welded construction, these improve gas flow, in turn increasing power and reducing heat retention. Oh, and they make it sound epic. Basically a straight pipe for chainsaws.

Before installing the Bark Box, I went over it with Autosol metal polish on a TRC Rip-n-Rag. From there, a wipe down with IPA and a few layers of Dr. Beasley's Metal Coat, which is a high temperature nano coating for chrome, stainless steel and aluminum. I've been using this on exhaust tips for years, so I thought it would be a home here too.
After the install, I wiped with WD40 to remove fingerprint oils, which would otherwise burn into the finish permanently. You would do the same after installing an exhaust system on your car.
What's better than an angry sounding chainsaw? An even angrier sounding chainsaw!

Old school
Cut it open, gut the cat and all the excess crap, add a second port, cut wood
But you do you

Hmmm, that actually sounds like more work and fuss than just swapping out the muffler plate like I did. If I wasn't messing about taking instructional photos, it would have taken less than 3 minutes to do.
