Got the first 5000 mile service today. Took one hour.

Received and installed my black wheelskin steering wheel cover today. It took about an hour and a half to put on but was well worth the time and effort.! I also put a coat of NXT wax on my steel rims...I am now anxiously awating the black nerf bars I ordered last week, should be here any day now!

Had a little shimmy in the RAV4 at 65 mph. Took the Blackmobile in today to check why this was happening since I just had the new tires balanced a little while ago. Found out the last guy that did the work counter balanced the wheels since the old weights were still on from the previous tires :shrug:

EGAD! Hard to believe isn't it? That's almost as bad as the A/C filter installed with the plastic still on it.

Yeah, pretty bad. The BlackMobile smoothed right out after a rebalance. I started to wonder if I had a bent rim.

Put a new battery in it. The stock battery made it to 109,000 miles, figured it was time.

Trying to determine if I should order the Optima battery from Amazon or not. Super cheap price but 1/2 the people complained about Amazon's crappy packaging which caused the battery to be destroyed.

 

[SeriousBlack]

I looked at the Optima's, but I decided to go to AutoZone and just get the Duralast 24F-DLG for 89.99 installed.

I washed, clayed, and put a paint sealant (Klasse AIO) on my RAV today. My car shines so well that I'm afraid to drive it in the bright sun! I might blind someone :wink: .

 

[bloorav]

Opened up the driver's side passenger door and applied some sound deadening (not through yet). Decided to *finally* do a long overdue car wash after that, including taking the spare off and cleaning underneath it.

Washed the Rav

Washed the Rav

I think you've got a bit of shmootz riiiiiiiiiight there *points*

It was a pretty horrible night, $4 for 10 minutes, I spent too long using the pressure spray soap cycle and Foam Brush cycle that I only had around a minute left to pressure rinse everything off and then pressure clear coat (which allows it to air dry without leaving water spots) I ended up having to get another $4 for another 10 minutes and spent the entire 10 minutes pressure rinsing and clear coating -_-

Then when I tried to auto start the Rav, all I heard was the electrical clicking, but no turning. So I immediately stopped the auto start process by hitting the brakes, turned off the parking lights, hope there was enough juice to crank and it started! Phew, crisis averted!

 

[SeriousBlack]

Installed Yakima anchor strap kit to the front fender bolts and installed 2 Thule Kayak holders to the roof rack.

 

[SeriousBlack]

Loaded the Kayaks on top ...

Looks awsome SB! BUT you need BLACK kayaks :roll:

Well, I didn't do this today, but a couple of weeks ago I tried a clay bar for the first time. I think the results are pretty sweet, even tho my car is silver, it reflects well and looks a bit like liquid metal

Couldn't help but put this sticker on, I usually hate bumperstickers but...

I used mostly Meguiar's products (Gold Class wash, Smooth Surface clay kit and NXT 2.0 Tech Wax)
