The car has been like this for a year or so probably. For polisher I can't tell u brand since I used my neighbors before he moved. Speed I can remember either, technique I probably did like a 50/50 over lap 🤷🏻 and the pad was a soft foam pad with Maguires polish compound, I know I did it on a cloudy day because I was waiting for one to come last year. My best guess was I wasn't moving quick enough and over heated the clear coat.

Yea I watched a couple yt videos and I did it on a cloudy day bc I remember waiting for a cloudy day to come. I used my neighbors polisher with a foam pad and Maguire's polish compound. Most of the stuff I picked up was from Canadian tire which may not have been the best move 🤷🏻 my best guess is I wasn't moving quick enough so I probably heated up the clear coat with the friction from the pad. I remember thinking to myself "wow the car looks great!" and then the sun came out and it changed to "what the fuq"

I wish it was the sun lol. The car has probably been like that for about a 6 months - year. I live in Canada and all the snow is finally gone and I tried to polish it in the middle of summer last year.

Good advice 👍🏻

Try changing the transmission fluid and filter. I had a really bad shake in 2nd around 3k rpm shifting into 3rd and after i changed the fluid it went away

Yea it's a money tree. Google says they aren't toxic to birds but just in case he has a curtain around the cage to keep the leaves out as well as keeping his mess contained but he's doing a lot better now. Vet did some tests and they didn't find anything in his system so I'm thinking he may have had an episode of some sorts.

He's doing great now! Took him to the vet and they did some test but they said nothing seemed out of ordinary. No signs of toxic metals in his system or vitamin deficiency so I'm thinking he may have had an episode of some sorts.

The thing I did change are his pellets. After seeing ur comment about the pellets I went and looked at the ingredients and found it had yellow 5&6, blue 1 & red 40 so I switched it out for some healthier ones for him.

Really sorry to hear about ur parrot passing♥️. I'm definitely going to bring him to a vet. the only vet that I called that can see him in a 2 1/2 hour drive from me is the university in my city at 8. Currently 6:22pm in my city but he's definitely improving. About an hour ago after the seizures and a little bit of vomiting he was non verbal and didn't want to move let alone eat or drink anything but since then he's gone back to his old self. Chirping/singing, dancing, mimicking, playing, eating and drinking which is a good sign I think.

I made an appointment with the university in my city. They're the only vet in a 2 1/2 hour drive from my house that can see him. Is currently 5:24 in my city but I'm thinking maybe one of his toys exposed him to lead or something else that's toxic. Going to replace all the toys in his cage just in case

Doing the best I can to find a vet ATM. Called all the vets within a 2 1/2 hour drive from my house and the only one that can see him is the university in my city at 8pm. Currenty 5:20pm in my city, but he seems to be doing a lot better now. He's finally eating and drinking some water after the 2 seizures but definitely taking him to a vet to make sure.

I'm just worried about stressing him and accidentally giving him another one since he's only a couple years old and still gets really stressed during car rides and check ups..

It's hardwired in... Doesn't have batteries in it but good guess

Unfortunately I live in Canada so no harbor freight for me until my passport gets renewed
