OK, here is what I did to the Boss this weekend. After a nice drive to San Diego on Saturday, I checked the oil. It was right at the top of the hatched marks, so all looks good with the oil. I added some wiper fluid. Yep, got out the funnel and did not spill a drop. I also checked the tire pressure. Two were at 33psi, a bit low. I am taking the Boss into the dealership next weekend, the driver window is sooooooooo loud and squeaky when you roll it down. Will wait until next weekend to wash the Boss, but there are a few bugs that were killed during our outing. I had not decided which interior products to use, weighing if I wanted the shine of Armour All or the matte finish look. Went with the matte finish for now, but the dash and the rest of the car were all wiped down. SO much dust. I have not shined the tires, think the Boss looks fine without all the shine.

Finally had the time and decent enough weather to change the oil. Drove her into work today! Next up is a good post-hibernation wash.

I had a watched a video on detailing that had said a shiny solution/wipe for the interior can actually be bad because it will create a film that will allow the sun to damage the vinyl/plastic, whatever it is. Not sure how true that is though.

Absolutely no sheen and safe for all plastics including dashboards, screens, lenses, etc.

About an hour and a half all total. I didn't get in any hurry. I was trying to be careful with the old valance so I could put it back on if I wanted to. I think the hardest part was getting the original mufflers off. I ended up cutting the top hangers off the passenger side muffler. I couldn't seem to get it to slide back far enough to drop out. Sawzall took care of that.

As I pass my dads gravesite I always beep my horn in my DD. Whenever I have Miss Scarlett out I rev the engine for him!

I was able to find out that it is possible to shear a 7/8's grade 8 bolt, not so fun.
