    Got my Prii washed today, then went to my buddies house to finish up his 63 VW Notchback for Wekfest San Jose. Unfortunately my 66 Bug won't be ready due to no paint or parts but my 58 Ragtop will be there as well.

    Evan's Notch ready for Wekfest.

    My 58 Ragtop is ready for Weakest.

    But my 66 is not ready due to no paint and parts.

    Some time ago, someone had inquired about the leather cleaner I used on my Catskinz black and white leather.

    I finally had the chance to clean it again today, so here it is.
    20150711_102748.jpg
    I use this about every two months. Apply the leather cleaner foaming agent and then the pasty leather conditioner.(y)

    Keeping it fresh! :D

    Since we are on the topic of cleaning supplies,
    These are what I use to keep the outside clean.:D

    They charge $100 per hour and parts and amps cost around $600. They said they have to rewire every speaker straight to the amp.

    Much better with infinity speakers. I was forced to install an amp due to the android headunit has an onboard weak amp. It distorts a few minutes after its use. I guess needs a heatsink.

    So you are running infinity speakers but you are still having distortion with the Android unit? ?

    Here is the Vleds switchback's and morimoto led fog lights type t. These switchback's are dimmed down to 10% illumination. They are a nice added safety for day driving. I will post day pics with turn signal.

    I usually use the touchless carwash. I had some bad experience with rollers there's a tendency that your prii get scratch. Just my 2 cents.

    Yup my car was all swirled up. Lot of compound/clay bar brought paint back up. White cars tend to benefit the best from the touch wash

    Didn't you say earlier that you didn't have fogs to begin with? How hard was it to add the fogs in when you had to add in all the wiring?
