iPhone cameras are neat. Both pictures taken in complete darkness, no flash, just auto exposure. Working on paint correction right now, just finished clay bar on the whole car. Next step is iron removal.

"Iron removal" What am I missing? Please enlighten me. Always something for an old man to learn! Thanks, Lindsay

It gets rid of things like brake dust, rust in small paint chips, etc. Amazon product ASIN B07C39H9YX
You do iron removal after clay bar, then polish and finally ceramic coating.

Replaced the starter relay today. symptoms were ‘intermittent No power to the starter.’ When I had the starter relay off a couple of months ago to do the ammeter bypass, I dropped one of the bolts into the abyss below. I bought two new bolts today to replace them both, and I dropped one of the new bolts into the abyss below again, and ended up using one of the original and one of the new bolts. Two different socket sizes, lucky me!
Lol - been there done that. The abyss is the top of the stub frame rail. If you get a magnetic reacher and go in from underneath, you might get them both back!

I was out getting gas and stopped at a couple of local landmarks for a quick photo. “Benny and Joon” fans will recognize these buildings.

Also I got the horizontal surfaces polished and ceramic coated. Turned out pretty good. Vertical surfaces getting the same treatment on Juneteenth since I get the day off.

While polishing the sides of SS Anderson today, it seemed like a good time to remove and refresh the NEWPORT fender scripts.

Are you doing this work yourself? What are you using? I like your results and would like to duplicate with my 300.

Looks really great!! Did you do the matte black on the profile? Can't tell from the pics.

the sides are semi-gloss black, like what I used on my air cleaner. They have a bit of sheen in the light . . .
I wondered if that was the case. Nice!

I'm using a Worx WX856L 10" dual-action polisher, Adam's One Step Polish, and Mother's CMX Ceramic Spray Coating. I previously clay barred the entire coat, and used Adam's Iron Remover to remove any other contamination.

If you don’t turn around to look at your car after you’ve parked it, you bought the wrong car!
