How to Draw Basic Car

it basically just means extra cleaning so your car looks super nice and your wax can stick! After washing your car (preferably a hand-wash as machine washes will leave more contaminants), contaminants on the paint may prevent a wax from sticking and therefore unable to protect your car like it’s supposed to. 

here is a tutorial (kind of an advertisement from Mothers but it has good info) on detailing with a clay bar, which I picked up at Walmart. it also instructs on what the “baggy test” is and how to use it to check if you need to use clay. 

clay bars will work to clean your paint, body, rims, plastic (like your lights!!), and glass, so be sure to skip superfluous products (I was going to buy a headlight cleaner as well) if you’re looking to do this. Not all clay bars are created equal. They come in a range to treat a range of contamination (heavy to light), so be sure to get the correct one for the job, as clay bars are considered an abrasive--super useful if you need it, but can damage your clear coat if you do it too often unnecessarily!

- coolant or water if your car overheats (coolant is preferable cause it won’t hurt the engine in the long run but hey i know money is tight)

- SPARE TIRE. Know how to change a tire!

- Jumper cables. you will at some point leave your lights on. you just will.

- AAA or any other road side service is never a bad investment. (try to mooch off your parents as long as you can though)

- keep oil made for your car in your car

- when it's cold outside, especially if there's snow, keep sleeping bags and boots in the car in case you break down

Alongside, the corporate declared the primary product to run on the new SoC – ODG’s AR/ VR sensible glasses – with the exception of the newest edition of its connected automotive reference platform, also as a brand new reference style for…

I haven't been able to shake that feeling of "I can do more" for a couple days now, it's definitely salted my game. And if today has taught me anything, it's that something new can always be learned.

It's hard for me to admit when I'm not doing something the way I could be, or should be. Now I'm not talking about the subject manner in which the film Nefarious has approached (though you should all go check that out NOW)

It's like, sometimes when you take your car into a shop to get your tires checked...and they find out that something is wrong with the engine.

I'm saying that I spend so much time working on/for others, that I sometimes forget to look at myself in the mirror. I mean, we all do that, and we all need a reality check sometimes...or at least a jumpstart...last car reference I swear!
