Right! He is one of the guys you should ask if you are looking for the right concoction.

And that makes us two as I also didn't know that it's called a drift charm.

With chrome, I dont black it out. I match to the same color as the body.

Like the chrome side mirrors and door handles, I wrapped it with the same shade of grey as the body.

And on the ranger raptor I used to own, I painted the black side mirror and door handle to red, parehas sa body.

Its not useless, I got complimented on both.

Will do.

19s stock? Care to share the car?

I'm not good in photography so this the best angle I can take:



As mentioned above, it's a Mazda 6. And because the "rice bug" has bitten me, I just installed this tire valve cover:







If let's say I want to check the tire pressure (the car doesn't come with a TPMS), or add air, I'll be fumbling to look first for the Allen key to remove the locking screw.

I could opt not to use the screw provided but risk loosing it from "kleptomaniacs".

Once the "rice bug" have lost its effect, I'll put back these ordinary caps. Yes I know, it's a useless thing to have.

To colorcode would mean to paint which my DIY skills are way short of professional.[emoji4]
When that useless itch strikes, chrome goes to my go-to paint shop.[emoji16]

I think cleaning the engine bay is a total waste of time! It's useless because no one sees it if it's clean.

In the same manner, I only see it dirty if I open the hood.



I couldn't stand it that way so I took my brushes and started cleaning it.



The attention to details is satisfied by using a small brush in these parts.





After dry cleaning it with the brushes together with the help of a vacuum cleaner, this is the result.

[Archerfish]

I wasn't done yet so I took a cleaning liquid and started applying it. Finally, I am now content with it.




I used the car after a couple days. I got lost on my way such that I ended up somewhere where the road is becoming "thinner and thinner" as I go along, until I arrived at a muddy place where I got stuck!



I couldn't imagine how dirty is the engine bay right now. And there you have it, a useless thing to do with a car. But hey! I get to compliment myself.

That's great! You now have a shiny engine bay.

only very temporarily.
the oil-contaminated rag lay down a layer of oil onto the engine bay surfaces.
dirt is attracted to the oily surface and sticks fast, like dirt to an oily surface.

[jojopad]

Archerfish, at least you were able to inspect the engine bay while cleaning.

Now time to clean it again [emoji12]

fully manual "trunk light". de-eveready.
install using double-sided tape.

after 20 years, i have yet to install it.

what i do want installed,
are a pair of bright dome lights in my wigo.
one between driver and rear passenger, and another for the rear trunk.

Tire washing can be tiring. Did this useless chore. Let's see how long it stays on. The dish soap brushing & rinsing took 90% of the time. Consumed about 80% of the can for 5 truck tires.[emoji4]

in the olden days,
we would use only ordinary soap and nylon laundry brush, to bring out the tire's natural blackness.

Did that useless exercise + another useless coat of Duplicolor Clear Tire Paint.[emoji4]

So clean that running a white towel on the sidewalls left no stains.[emoji4]
