Foamed
PW rinse
chamois and purged wit comp air to dry

Had normal webbing throughout and some very deep scratches on the deck lid which were wetsanded with megs unigrit 2000,2500, and 3000, that area was brought back with M105 cut with a bit of Nano

SIP with Green german pad at 1800 down to 1200
NANO with AG green pad at 1500 down to 1000
Pinn Liq sov with blue pad and PC x2 on light lines
