Looks like a paint job! ......shiny like clearcoat had been spackled nice. Don't get a loud exhaust now and or drive over the speed limit .....your paint color draws too much attention to cops.

Can this same technique be used on the seats? My red stitching is blending in with the black parts of the seats, which are fading

I use Blue Magic for all the interior fabrics. Get the spray can type and spray a good amount all over the seat, letting it foam up. Let it sit for a little bit, then while it's still damp I blot all of the seat. I then rub down the seat, making sure to use as dry a part of the cloth. Make sure you use a very absorbent cloth.

It has really worked well. I'm not sure why my seats have stayed so new looking beside the cleaning. I am OCD the way I get in and out.

Any type of dirt will come out, the "fade" I don't know if it can "come out." The NIsmo logo can be restored because it's white. I should say, my logos aren't perfect, but they look good in the picture.

Why? I could see getting the more expensive one if it's a power upgrade or something but since it's just an o2 sensor I'll probably just get the cheapest.

Gave the engine bay a quick (and much needed) wipe down. I haven't worked on the engine bay yet but I do have plans for it once I get some other things out of the way.

Because Bosch sensors are crap and frequently die, across most cars, nothing specific to 350's.

Also, NTK are pretty much the granddaddy, you'd put NGK spark plugs in, right? NTK is their sensor arm.

Thanks so much for the info, I have always seen blue magic but never tried it, this will be my ocd weekend project

Get the spray can type. There's a particular kind that sprays a stream like a **** stream and it's horrible to work with.

Don't get this kind.

equals **** stream
