Burning Brakes
Those of you considering acquiring a new Grand Sport, beware! I have a convertible and it caused me terrible back and arm pain. This weekend I washed it, clayed it, washed again, polished with my orbital, and finally put on 2 coats of Zaino. My back and arms are spent but the finish is flawless! It is like a mirror of Crystal Red Metallic.....Too bad I need Motrin just to get through the day.
Took delivery of my Torch Red GS Coupe with seven (7) miles on the odometer on Saturday January 09, without the tires touching the snow here in mid Michigan, via a covered trailer.
GS washed, five (5) applications of Zanio applied, Mild to Wild exhaust controller installed and functioning, skip-shift eliminator installed, will have to wait until spring to test, front splash guards installed, battery tender connected and functioning, spend two (2) days up on jack stands wiping down the underneath, removed the wheels to clean the insides, another application of Zanio going on tomorrow if the cuts on my hands are healed enough to give it another go.
Took me four (4) months to get my GS, now a four (4) month wait for spring to arrive before salt free roads return.
My recent retirement is proving to be the best job I've had. What could be better than spending quality time in your garage bonding with your new GS.................

I feel your pain, in a good way.

Melting Slicks
Congrats on the new GS. I'm sure you enjoyed cleaning it and the pain was worth it.
