Eagle Talon Turbo has chrome wheels, Motegi 18" DP6

This is a late night photo from my camera phone after a touchless car wash. The more I look at the car the more I want the AWD disc brake conversion and candy red calipers I have precoated for the front. I would do the rear just as well. I am eager to do the finishing touches on the aftermarket Scoote hood I recieved for my birthday that is raw fiberglass. It need several holes filled, primed and blocked before it is ready for paint.

Here is a parking lot shot from Downtown Chattanooga where my car spends 1/2 of its life. Taking this in mind we have alot of tree sap falling in Chattanooga , as well as pollen build up. I noticed a Mustange GT and Corvette that park near me us car covers to protect thier cars from the general elements. After I thought about it it seams like a good idea. You are much less likely to get robbed. who wants to fight with car car cover? Even it you get lighly bumped paint wont transfer and you will never know it happened. UV rays are not beating down on the car all day and therefore holds color for many years longer with a cover right? I purchased a cheap cover to protect the car on regular days it would normally collect huge amounts of dust and wax. I plan to ride my bike 2-3 days per week to save fuel on the way to work in the future. This means my car will sit much of the time at home in direct sun. A car cover seems very good. I will get a nice water proof yet breathable car cover in the future, but this will due for a couple months.

Anyways these are the Chrome Motegi DP6 wheels on the car. In this picture there is one layer of Turle wax ICE on the body. It was a quick wipe down by the painter when the job was finished last week. I have only seen a couple flaws , but the paint is much better than anything the factory ever had to offer even when new. There is almost no waves in the finish and is very clean. I noticed the turle wax ice feels much like mineral oil , but seems to dry to some degree. As a matter of fact it smells like mineral oil too. I will do a review on the turtle wax ice later this week. I will test underhood looks, detailing capablity, and compatibilty with rubber surfaces.
