It's been so nice not buying car parts lately and buying other things I need/want.

So many things. Like I said earlier. Car's done for a while. Probably at least until I'm done with grad school.

I'm going to actually spend the money I would on the car getting out and enjoying the car. :tup:

Great choice, You will love it, I got one of these Panasonic Vieras back in 05 and the HD picture is still as comment worthy as it was when we bought it. (even in a 37" 720P)

How well does this stuff clean vinyl interior panels? I noticed that the sort of dark grey 850 door panels are actually not that dark, but have years of dirt on them. A mind cleaning with a Magic Eraser makes them look like new, but I think that may be too abrasive.

THE best detailer I know uses it religiously, engine bay and interior
Its a concentrate, has multiple uses based on the ratio you use, My impression is interior vinyl is 10:1

IS this the one with the blown HG? If so, nice pickup. Got a new head or are you going to machine the old one?

Yea. Got it home today for $600 including a free 180 mile tow.

Body is straight, no dents, some chips on the hood, minor scratches that can be buffed out. New tires, axles, wheel bearings, windshield The interior is in decent shape. Normal wear on the seats. But they are heated. And work.

Probably machine the one on there, unless I can find a good deal.

Hopefully I can get everything done before the end of the month.

Luckily I just got a raise, so I'm gonna be dumping some money in this thing.

:lol: :lol: :lol: Well Duh! I didn't think to post a complete bay detailing thread. Done much of that?
Having a solution that most detailing shops will swear by as a stage 1 has eluded me for a while, I spent some time reviewing detailing forums and this stuff kept showing up as a good product to use. Way better than the retail or Griots poser chemicals.
I will do some before and after pics on my very funky 850 NA resto this spring. The engine bay is ready for cleaning after stage 0.

Here's a link showing a 99+ bay with step by step instructions and pictures. It doesn't appear too funky to begin with though.
