hobbesmaster posted:I replaced the cabin air filters in my 2000 Accord today. That was up there with apple laptop repair in obnoxiousness. I'm not sure whether to curse Honda or whoever replaced the filter last - two of the screws for the glove compartment reinforcement stuff managed to be partially stripped and over torqued. I have no idea how that even happens. The filters were pitch black and covered in leaves and the air conditioner just about doubled in strength after replacement so I'm thinking that it had not been done in a long time (I think the previous owner just kept up with oil changes). That has to be one of the dumbest locations for cabin air filter replacement (red dot). I snapped that passenger side under dash/kick panel right where it connects to console...no idea what screw I missed (other red dot). Picture

Finally got around to wet sanding the Centennial edition Taurus headlights I got off someone from a different forum. They were cheap, UV coating was completely done..figured a good way to practice. Started with 800, then moved to 1000, 1500, 2000, 2500, and 3000. Followed up with Optimum Compound & Optimum Polish on my Porter Cable. Still need more practice, came out ~85-90%. Also my friend taught me more about car detailing...so I/we used the foam gun, cleaned the car, clayed, then used Meguiars 105 on a blue pad with the Flex. Followed up with Menzerna PowerGloss. Finished up using a Porter Cable on a red pad applying BlackFire LSP. The metallic really pops now, paint is smooth as a baby's rear end. Not bad shape for a 00 w/141k.
