not a bad thing to do IMHO.

That is a good idea...

I'm always moving balances around if I have one.

IDK how to do that.

Cool... look below for my plan of attack

Her paint is generally good, and cadillac paint is for sure better than scooby's...


What do you guys think:

1) Dawn wash
2) Mother's clay
3) Meguiar's Gold class wash
4) Orange pad w/ SSR2 - whole car
5) *IF NEEDED for a scratch she has on the front bumper* Orange pad w/SSR2.5. If still not good enough, Orange or Yellow w/SSR3. Follow up with orange w/ SSR2.
6) White pad w/ SSR1 - whole car
7) Gray pad w/ PwS - whole car
8) Blue pad w/ Meguiar's gold class liquid carnuba - whole car
9) Buff with a lambswool pad w/ microfiber bonnet

I would work the scratch first, get it where you want it, then work down in abrasiveness and polish/was accordingly...

EDIT: I mean work the scratch before SSR2 on the whole car.

Well, I use online banking so they are always emailing, or throwing up a banner on there site for promotional balance transfers at X.XX%. Sometimes they come in the form of 'Superchecks'.

sounds tricky to me...

Yellow Cutting Foam Pads
Use this pad to apply compounds or polishes to remove severe oxidation, swirls, and scratches. It is the most aggressive and should not be used on new or like-new paint finishes. Always follow this pad with an orange light cutting pad and a fine polish and then a white pad to refine the paint until it is smooth.

New paint is less than a week old. After that it is cured enough that even solvents have little effect.

That's why you has Chase Freedom right?


I have a simple bank policy:

1) 4 Credit cards (2 Chase, 2 Citi). I use one primarily (Chase freedom - 1-3% cash back), use one only for BP gas (5% cash back), and two older Citi cards are tied to paypal and to my cable bill (which I can't change the card for ).
2) Checking account
3) Savings account
4) High interest savings account

Get paid on the 15th and 30th. Transfer money for the mortgage electronically on the 30th from checking. Pay the credit cards and car payment between the 10th and 25th. If the credit bill is slightly higher than normal (like this month) transfer from savings to checking to pay off the bill in full. Once my savings is at a pre-determined limit, transfer any excess savings to a high-interest savings account.

Never carry a balance, and never buy anything I can't cover with cash.

This policy has been FTW for me.
