Waxed my car, it becomes shinning now :)

Saturday, a good weather we have been waiting for a long time. Since it's dry, I decided to wax my car. A couple of days ago, I have bought a polisher machine, and maguires 3 step wax/cleaning set  from Canadian Tire. The reason that I chose its 3 steps set is my car hasn't been waxed for a year, and there's a lot micro dust on the paints. I need a deep pre-wax cleaning product to remove those micro dust. Although, I have the puffer, it still took me almost 5 hours to go through all the 3 steps: pre-wax cleaning, polishing, wax. Futurnately, the results is conviencing. Nice product and good work out for me.

Replaced Drum Brakes at Canada Day

It's Canada Day today, and it's a great chance to see free shows out doors. However, I am tired of being in the crowds and decided to finish the brake work for my car's rear wheels.

The work itself is much easier than I thought, even it's my first time to replace drum brakes. But the mechanism itself is more complex than disc brakes. The material we need are brand new pair of brake drums and pads, the new springs, high temp brake grease, ....., and some tools. There are may articles out there explaining how to do it by yourself, so I decided to save my words here and just post some photos for fun. (click the picture for enlarged version)
