> [@votblindub"](#): > > mmmmm, i didnt claybar it because it didnt need it. the paint its REALLY smooth after just buffing it and the microfiber towels fall off it as is. i needed to claybar my mitsu though because it has cheapo factory paint. audi paint is WAY better. plus their clear is rock hard and thicker than mitsu paint. Of course the god damn paint is smooth after you buff it because you are running your hand over a fresh layer of wax… :lol: Strip all the wax off the car and run your hand over the paint, I promise you it won’t feel smooth then… I gave my car a full exterior detail yesterday. It looks brand new again :excited ---

> [@big red"](#): > > wow is that a common thing on these motors? ive heard of it happening a few times recently did some searching and came up with nothing. all things come in 3’s im #2 around here with this oilpump problem in recent days. i got the pan off looked right at the oil pump and saw the bolt hanging out of the gear. :facepalm but no metal anywhere, tons of oil on the bottom of the pistons, dripping from the main/rod caps so im pretty confident there is no damage. so 85+ oil for this. beats the 5k i was ready to spend.
