Washed the V today for the first time since December. She gleams! No rust and most amazingly no dings or scratches anywhere. I've had her 9 months.

I had half a dozen seriously baked-on bird poohs down the rear passenger door. From the bottom of the window down to the plastic sill. Coworkers were asking if paint had been spilled on my car. I used strips of flyer soaked in vinegar to get them off. It took two attempts but worked beautifully.

I used Armrour all wipes on the interior. They worked well removing scuff marks from door bins.

Oh well now I don't have to worry again until Xmas...

Woohoo! I'm part of the club! I Love Houston Anyway, you should probably hit the V with a hose every once in a while even when it's cold out. It will help loosen and knock off that poop. Caked on dried poop can cause paint issues. Some bird totally disrespected a G35. First time I've ever seen it purple and it was everywhere

Hey Proxim, I see your in Houston, same here....I live in Kingwood area, but work at the Houston ship channel at the Coast Guard Sector...its a commute i know, but thats why i got a small cylinder...just curious, do you have any hook ups at any local performance shops that could cut me a deal if i bought the Lowering springs, AEM CAI, and Magnaflow exhaust at the same time?

I was in my bedroom a few months ago right before winter hit and a huge flock of geese flew over my house. I thought nothing of it till I went outside to go out to the store and my car was literally COVERED in bird crap.

Worst part was neither of the other two cars in the driveway had anything on them. Damn birds.

I'm up on the other side. I'm near Spring. I've haven't looked into any performance changes yet. As with a lot others, money's kinda tight right now. You could probably do all of those things yourself if you're the DIY type, they are pretty easy. If you want a hookup though, I'd suggest getting work done at one of the shops on the Southwest side. They always have hook ups going on over there.
