No real tips.. just let the tech wax dry to a haze... it wipes off really easily. Speed detailer... just spray it on and wipe it off

Btw, I picked up the two items you spoke about: NXT Tech Wax and Speed Detailer. I'll get to it later this afternoon, but before I do, are there any tips you can pass on?

RE: upcoming turbocharger
Turbo = lag low end. You also have to tap the oil pan for a frigin oil feed line to lube the turbo. Worry about turbo failure and replacement, believe me i've been there done that and it sucks on my other cars.
Your best bet with these v6's is the Procharger supercharger. It has it's own oil supply no oil line tap is required into the oil pan. It gives you that low end hp and the hp increases it gives is in a great range as to not cause any internal damage with the stock internals.
The only downside I can see is that it might be a slight bit more expensive then a turbo setup.

Procharger S/C = centrifugal s/c = not much boost until 4000+RMP... That's not waht I call low end HP... basically the same as a turbo... except turbo is exhaust driven while s/c is belt driving.
If you want low end HP you need to go to a roots / twin screw blower... Explorer Express will becoming out with an Eaton unit.... 70% of boost at less than 2000RPM.
You can damage the internals of any engine with any s/c, turbo or even N/A... all you need is a bad tune... or some bad gas...
Personal opinion..... Yes, the procharger has it's own oil supply, which means more maintenance... Also I've seen number reports of these self contained units leaking... and then having a hard time getting them fixed under warranty...
