[QUOTE="Mac99Snake, post: 12667862, member: 797"] Ok, so the first step to recovery is admitting you have a problem. I have a problem: Todays plan was to remove and replace what I thought was a leaking windshield washer reservoir. A quick check of the Ford manual indicated it is a relatively simple job. 1. Jack up the driver's side and remove the wheel. 2. Remove the fender liner 3. Remove and replace washer reservoir. 4. Reinstall fender liner 5. Reinstall driver's side wheel. Actually what happened... 1. Jack up the driver's side and remove the wheel. 2. Remove the fender liner (6 push pins and 2 screws) 3. Observed no leak from washer reservoir. 4. Cleaned the fender liner inside and on the backside. Then Aero 303'd it. 5. Cleaned and vacuumed out the dirt behind the brake/anti-skid mount. 6. Removed underbody rust protectant paint overspray on the Bilstein strut. 7. Waxed the strut 8. Observed some paint scratches in the glare of the work light. Particularly around the Cobra emblem. 9. Began DA polishing with M105 to remove said scratches. 10. Determined I couldn't get close enough to the emblem to correct the paint. 11. Removed the Cobra emblem (dental floss) and cleaned it with Goo Gone to remove the tape. 12. Washed the emblem to remove the Goo Gone 13. Polished the now clear area to remove the scratches. 14. Polished the rest of the fender with M105 15. Buffed and polished the fender again now with M Ultimate Compound. 16. While waiting for the MUC to haze Reinstalled the fender liner 17. Buffed the fender to remove the haze 18. Reinstalled the Cobra emblem with 3M trim tape 19. Put on a coat of Blackfire Wet Diamond sealer 20. Waxed the fender with Colinite #845 21. Reinstalled the driver's side wheel. Yep, I have a problem...lol. However, I don't think I am getting past step one. Anyone else have a story like that? Good times [/QUOTE]
