Yea, I had excellent results with it on the Corvette, Volt, and my dad's CTS-V. It sound like you might not have used enough blending solution, or didn't rub long enough to get it all out. It's a process that requires patiencs.

If I ever get more serious about racing I’ll have to look more into it.

HEY! I HAVE A VEE. I didn't know they were running at COTA.
I want to talk with you about them. They seemed so cool. And I didn’t know they were so affordable.

I've been watching videos from this channel for a few weeks. I think it's my new favorite.

Hurricane, UT might be my perfect place to live too.

He has a video where he goes over the Jeep. It's 100% fabricated by him using random parts. It's epic.

Utah is beautiful, but the personnel, other than someplace like Park City, is, uh, not compatible with DFDers AT ALL.

Ever been to Hurricane? Might be the most beautiful area in the country with people completely different from the rest of UT. No idea how it happened, but it's epic. Agreed, I'm out of St. George, Provo, SLC, etc.

I would have to agree...
Strange liquor laws
Epic inbreeding
Bible/Gold plate humping mandatory

That's 3 strikes for the DFD crew.

That's a pretty small Alamo to fight off The Church of Latter Day Saints brah.

:iono: I am not quite as left wing as most of DFD but still pretty left wing. At my previous employ, we did a ton of business with the Church of Latter Day Saints and they were great people to work with. My current company also acquired Control4 recently - they're headquartered in SLC and plenty of those peeps are mormons... while I'd feel more comfortable around them if they'd drop a few f-bombs, they've overall been pretty cool to work with.

They are an industrious bunch. The whole "beehive state" thing literally comes from "busy as a beehive." You and the Mrs. will just find it a lot tougher sledding to find those city bars to watch the Panthers on.

It's never gonna happen so not really an issue. She's dead set on staying in the Carolinas I think... which is fine.

That's a lot better than being dead set on staying in the Dakotas.
