Took some pics tonight down at Shoalhaven River (about 2 mins from where I live)

It was a beautiful afternoon. One of the nicest we've had for quite a while.










These last two were up at Cambewarra Mountain lookout http://www.cambewarralookout.com/


I love my car


edit: One last pic just to show how nice the Aussie South Coast is. (Seven Mile Beach at Gerroa taken sometime at the start of the year in Summer. I think that was one of those freakish 40 degree days too...lol)

great pictures camerooney  wish I was there 

[camerooney]

Thanks Hemmi.
It hasnt been all that warm here down South, well to what we usually get.
Temps have been averaging the low 20's I think.

Then again, by your standards low 20's is probably quite hot compared to what you get!
lol

Very nice cam!

One thing to be wary of when detailing your car (or having it detailed...)

Make 100% sure you don't get ANY polish or wax on the plastics (especially the side skirts). I have an '01 Elantra and I made the mistake of thinking it wouldn't do any damage... trust me, the damage is permanent, almost no matter what you do. You will end up with either faded or patchy exterior plastics.

I actually tape off the plastics (around windows, strips along roof, front grill, side mirrors and front chrome thingo)  before polishing or am EXTREMELY careful not to get any polish or wax on them. If you use tape, make sure it is a low tack tape or apply it to clothing a few times before putting it on the car.

Thanks Tylenol.
I try and avoid polishing the plastic. I havent gone as far as taping the areas, but I'm generally pretty careful.
Thanks for the advice

[Tylenol]

No problem... I just hate looking at the plastics on my Elantra these days

Its probably the same plastic they use for the side strips on the i30 - are they a textured plastic or smooth one? If smooth stains would be easier to remove. If you stain the textured plastics you're up a creek!

If you need to rejuvenate your tired plastics I would recommend AutoGlym bumper restorer, it is pretty horrible stuff to put on, but it takes all that grey away pretty quickly and does not wash off at the first sign of rain.

In the UK the bottle has a green label, I have been using it for years even when body-kits were not colour keyed to the vehicle, so you had lots of black plastic to care for.

A friend of mine had a Ford Ka, the basic model with acres of textured black plastic as bumpers which went grey very quickly and made the car look much older than it was, I had a go at it with this stuff and the difference was night and day.
