She said said "bless you but you don't have to do that" and I said well I was out there doing my car and wanted to surprise you.

Lesson learned at 51 yrs old, never stop learning because learning never stops. I guess I don't have to worry about doing the roof now and to think I was going to offer to do a massive overhaul on the soft Japanese black paint for FREE because I wanted to see what I could do

My eye is much better, tomorrow the fine tuning comes back

Btw she baked me a plate of cookies which I'll put a couple aside and the rest go to the tint shop guys tomorrow morning, I'm sure they'll appreciate it

Don’t worry your a “class act” to do a good deed for neighbor and to get response where she is unappreciative and totally ignores your efforts, 🤦🏽#♂️don’t worry her loss !!!! Hopefully another neighbor saw your good deed and ask you to do their car

It's the very first thing I have done, if it hasn't already, to any vehicle I buy. I've only ever bought second hand, and window tint is very common in this sunburnt land, so you just have to make sure it's a good job.

I had a friend with a really cheap old Hyundai, with a very bad tint job, bubbles all over the back window. The police pulled him over and made him peel it off, it was that or get a fine.

I ordered a couple of wire shelves and a few more clear totes from Amazon last week

Only 1 shelf showed up but it’s a start

I am trying to get away from using the bigger totes and get my microfiber stuff a bit more organized and easier to see

The 4 totes still on the way will allow me to have all my towels stuff in clear totes

Dust here is a problem so totes are essential

I was using a cheap particle board shelf unit I scrounged up but that’s disintegrating, plus I’m trying to get anything that’s not waterproof out of this half of the garage so I can wash cars when it’s blowing too hard outside

My wife ordered the little cart for a closet or something but it didn’t work out so I repurposed it until I can get a bigger taller service cart

Work in progress

Got my windows tinted with X-pel ceramic tint, 35% and they couldn't wash it afterwards so I told them no worries. They gave me a free carwash though and I could use it whenever...even winter, so that's when I'll use it for being so patient with them this morning (8 a.m. appointment and brought my car in @9:40 a.m.)

Once I got home from there and the Stinger meet I washed the ES. It wasn't dirty, just a days dust and smudges from the window tinters. This time I mixed up some DG rinseless wash and got after it...in the sun, so 1 panel at a time, not used to that

Once done there I used Brake Buster on the rims, 1 brush used, rinsed down and dried. I then applied a light coat of Gyeon Tire for a slightly different look on the tires. Finished up spraying some CG's Signature scent in the interior.

Now I've go back out and re-dry the ES because it rained for about 20 seconds on it right after I was done and bringing in my supllies
