Now get a gatorbelt and some 303 aerospace protectant and you'd be set!

I gotta do that in the spring time. I'll have 40K miles by then. Time to start doing preventative maintainence.

First thing on my list, new Brembo rear rotors and Ford OEM pads. The parts store pads i have on squeal like a mofo and the stock Ford rotors are becoming thin. Brembos are like $35 each, but how much are OEM rear pads??

You'll have to take it to the track and post the gains. "Waxed cars run faster 1/4 times."

This sunday it is supposed to be 71* and sunny here and I'm planning on doing a lot of that since I'm off work. My car doesn't need anything mechanical as it had a full tune-up in July when I had the PI swap done, but I will be washing it, waxing it, cleaning the whole interior, and cleaning the engine.

basically a lump of clay that you use on the paint to get rid of the old wax, industrial fallout, bird chit, etc... you can get one at autozone or wherever. It leaves your paint feeling as smooth as glass. after you claybar the car, you put on your wax
