What do you find most disappointing about your car's exterior?

I have you know I work very hard! I practically live in the kitchen either cooking or washing dishes or chopping up some thing or other or washing and seasoning meat to go into the freezer. Then I have 2 kids to take care of plus laundry, food shopping, house cleaning and on and on. I'm a busy lady.:)

Also, does anybody know how to really clean in/around emblems, I have a hell of time trying to get stuff out even with AIO it's like its bonded to the paint. Like says an "O" you can see the paint in the middle but looks almost off color since I can't clean/polish it like the rest of the truck, I've tried AIO by hand and others but didn't work.
 
bummer ...

I need an old hood / trunk lid, I think my skills are decent, but can be improved

I'd like a rotary and/or a cyclo

I just don't know which to buy

I have 2 kinds of waxes and I want the $80 tub

I have optimum, poorboys, sonus, but I want MORE

I have 100 MF towels, but I really like those purple cobras, I want more

I also have a pressure washer used once on the avalanche after I got a load of mulch

I have one of those foam guns, its fun ... but I don't know if I need it?

I have 8, maybe 9 wash mits (lambskin), probably get 3 more this year

I need a tire cleaner, rim cleaner, and something to reach up and clean the inside of the wheel wells

big list

I don't have cable. But if it's any consolation I've heard of him. It was you that I heard of him from, but that's something right? :p Besides, I thought he was Mexican.
 
There is a nice scratch on my spoiler, needs to be repainted. My trunk lid needs to be repainted, someone keyed my car, and my hood needs some work.

I see some people have had their car keyed. Do you think that is because the car usually looks so nice and shiney that people are just nasty and want to ruin it. I actually worry about that when I park at a mall or similar. Even though I park far away from everyone else, sometimes I think when something looks too nice or they see you care about what you drive they want to destroy it.

Try an extra soft kids toothbrush.
 
My front bumper is starting to resemble the moon---craters from astriods (rocks).
and my paint is too thin

Well, I learned from my incident. Just by luck at the mall (this never happens to me) someone was pulling out of a "Rock-Star" parking space... you know the one in the very front.

I was in my M3, and I proceed to park there to go into the mall. I was there for about 2 hours, and when I came out it had been keyed on the drivers side.

There was no other reason for someone to do it, I was just parked in front, people didnt like it, so they got their revenge.

Now, even if there is a parking space up front, I drive past. I will park in the most remote areas so if someone really wants to do something to my car, they are going to have to take a long walk.

Besides, It's good for me to work off a few beers walking into/out of places. I just hope that people that do such things to other peoples property one day realize that KARMA IS A #####!
 
That absolutely sucks.
I think door dinger's fall in the same category of a**holes as keyer's. Several months back a payed like $150 to have some dings removed. Last week I find another ding in my rear door, with a nice chip in the paint

Who ever did that is so lucky I didn't catch them

I will have to have Justin show me how to repair the chip.

That the rust I keep dealing with is coming from the INSIDE of the metal, and it's long out of mfr warranty. I'll do what I can and hope it lasts long enough for me to trade in in a couple years.:mad: :mad:
 
You mean besides the fact that it was not styled by pinafarina?
I would have to say the door dings on the top of my fender where some idiot in a to tall pickup opened his door over my car and then stepped into the truck (he had to be a BIG boy), closed the door, and drove away
