    What are you working on today?

    10 ton floor jack maintenance I bought this for $125 last fall. Cleaning, greasing and lubing with the grease gun. The ball bearings in one caster wheel are missing so I’ll replace them. Probably the other side too. This thing is a monsta. Raises up the front end of a Volvo 240 like...

    Griot’s Liquid Wax 3-In-1

    I use a random orbital on the top surfaces for more water spot, oxidation removal. Hand pad for the rest.

    Griot’s Liquid Wax 3-In-1

    Volvo used this color, paint code 414 for 2-3 years. It’s rare and from what I’m told one of the most difficult colors to match and repaint.

    Griot’s Liquid Wax 3-In-1

    1993 Volvo 240 Classic I returned to my old standby wax, Griot’s 3-In-1. The Adam’s Buttery Wax lasted less than a month. Griot’s Brilliant Shine Car Wash, synthetic clay and 3-in-1 wax. Easy to apply and remove, superb color clarity. I’m not sure why I left this wax in the first place.

    To your point all the mechanics I use have air tools, some well over 20 years old, along with their cordless. The air hose seems worth the hassle, still.

    Adam’s Buttery Wax, Volvo 240 Classic

    Well, the Adam’s Buttery Wax did not last long. @JoelB is correct. The wax is for a quick pop but has no longevity.

    Yes, original paint. Insanely beautiful color. There are many imperfections on the top surfaces. I have considered a professional paint correction. But so far I’m happy with the results doing it myself.
