hmm, my original reply disappeared.
The first reply is correct about the concerns of using a Foam Cannon attached to a pressure washer. These are typically needed by mobile detailers who have a reservoir without water pressure, I have seen too many paint jobs ruined by using too much pressure...
I rarely have time to peruse the forums, but received an announcement and thought this might be fun, plus an excuse to drive the XLR, and take vacation. I'm still reading, so far in post 104 I saw days, but not dates, maybe I missed it.
Anyhow, we would definitely be interested. Looking forward...
The original post was made in 2010!
But I think you have the annswers to your questions.
If you are looking I have a very nice 2005 is Blue Steel / Cashmere that may be for sale. I'm building a new project and could use a parking space, plus some cash in the bank. Best to send email to b_papp...
I'm feeling smarter this morning, just aced it. Yet I remember from an earlier survey here, I'm one of the few here who doesn't even change his own oil.

One of the managers at Silver Star actually owns a XLR, that might help. Even though I live in L.A. I let my Chevy (Rydell) dealer work on mine, because my mechanic (Donny Yorke) is so experienced.
Bruce
I do it because that's the way GM did it (not that it means it is always the best way) and I trust the AC (GM) filters.
I was surprised how many of you change your own oil, and I applaud you for doing so.
Too many cars, and not enough time. I do have a great relationship with my dealer and mechanic though. I bring the Mobil 1, they provide the AC filter and labor for $18.95, and dispose of the old oil. Plus we usually nose around under there to check everything else.

I just received my copy of Autoweek today, but haven't read it yet. I never heard back after I PM'd to do the survey, but neat to see the article published.
Bruce
As far as the rusty brake discs, I masked mine and spray painted them with high temp BBQ Black spray paint (Home Depot). Still looks great after a few years, and the color is a very natural color, not too black.
Looks like most of the rest were answered.

Hope you get it sorted out. I have heard some really good things things about the CARMAX warranty over on Jalopnik. I think they have several, but their top notch one is great. Sorry I don't have more info at hand.
They are great cars, and really beautiful.
Bruce
Well, lower tire pressures do lower the car some.
So in the Sunday spirit of full disclosure:
I run 32 front, 34 rear, air, not pure nitrogen
Lloyds mats
and I only use Adam's polish, wax & glaze on my cars.
I agree though, I use my XLR primarily as a Sunday driver.
