Oil Change

My first time doing an oil change myselft and couldn't believe how easy it was. The entire process took about 20 minutes tops. I used a Bosch premium oil filter and Castrol GTX, SAE 5w-20 oil.

I raised my car up with a jack stand on the right side to undo the plug then lowered it back down so all the oil can drain out. The oil filter is the easiest because it could be found underneath the hood behind the engine. With the Corolla that I used to drive, it was located underneath the car.

Spray painted my chrome strakes

Started spray painting my chrome strakes today because I didn't like the chrome on my RX8.

First thing I did was I used a can of black spray paint and put multiple coats on it, then I used a can of clear coat to make it a little shinier to match up with the body paint. I chipped a little part of one of the strakes and didnt have any more of the black spray paint i had used earlier so I used a little bit of the factory touch up paint tocover it up. It turned out pretty good.

Messing around with HDR

Was messing around with some HDR images. I tried Photoshop CS4 and Photomatix 3 Pro and it seems Photomatix is better. PS is a lot more complicated. Photomatix is VERY easy to use and the images all turn out very nice. They turned out alright for my first time making these.

This image I messed around with the color a little:

Meguiar's NXT Generation Tech Wax® 2.0

Based on a video on meguiars website, this wax is supposed to remove fine swirl marks, darken black paint and protect the surface.

Testing out Meguiar's NXT Generation Tech Wax 2.0 liquid wax today and I'm pleased with the results.

I put a piece of tape there it out on the RX8 just like on their website.


Here are the results:This picture doesn't show it as good as I wanted it to, but if you look on the bottom part of the picture, it will show it pretty good
