Default Spring Maintenance

Car has been put away cleaned but -

Exterior - Thorough wash and coat of Zaino including the wheels. 303 on the Top. Metal polish the comptech SS dual mufflers. Lubricate all locks, latches, and hinges with multi-purpose grease. Shin-Itsu on the rubber seals.

Interior - Quick wipedown using 303 and Zaino leather conditioner. Glass cleaning and treatment with RainX anti-fog.

Engine - Replace engine oil and filter. Clean up and re-oil comptech air cleaner element. Check all fluid levels, condition of fluids, and check for leaks.

Finish mods - Zune connection to OEM HU using PIE and adding my version of rear loop speaker setup to fill the cabin.

What are your plans?

Maint:
-Oil change
-Brake fluid change
-shinetsu and lube treatment
-one more coat of souveran wax and detail the wheel wells

Are you going to go OEM, or get the aftermarket one?

My car needs a full detail job, inside and out. I am hesitant to try the new PC as I dunno WTF I am doing with it. I should practice on the wife's CRV or something.

Need to change oil. I need to check where I am on other fluids. I did tranny fluid last year and diff the year before. Not sure about anything else.

Jeff, when on Sat are you doing your wheels at Cubs? I may swing by to take a peek.
