Getting the last bit of Detailing done before HC

Decided that one of the last things I needed to do was remove the wheels, clean and wax them and clean the fender wells today...

Putting on one of the wheels, I have the torque wrench set to 85lbs. and before it got to that torque, SNAP goes a wheel bolt.... :headbang:

After drilling a small hole in the remaining stud and using a small easyout, the thing came right out. No torque necessary.

Had to put on of the original black bolts in until I make up my mind on getting four new sets of bolts.... The one that snapped is Chrome....
 
I am not too worried. It just disturbs me that it broke because these were the bolts that came with the wheels...

AND they are starting to rust a little. Gives me a excuse........... :evil:
 
OK, that brings up a question. Vendors.... good ones? Do they take plastic or just cash? Prices better than on the website? Any don't miss vendors?
 
Yo Ducks, With a Pinnacle Signature Series II Carnauba Paste Wax, how long, do you think it needs to be on the car before a second coat can go on?

I put it on early Sunday morning....
 
Trust me, they accept plastic! :cry:

Ditto on the Amex though, just know for sure that they take Visa 8)

Without a sealant, anytime (I prefer a few hours, if at night try to moon cure.) With a sealant 12 hours of average humidity/temps.
 
Ducks, I put another coat of Series II on this afternoon. The PC with a bonnet does wonders for polishing it up.

Talk to me about sealants... I may have missed something here I need to know.
