I appreciate all the kind words. The reality is my car still has a ways to go and I think there are some things I will never be able to really fix. You can't see all the imperfections in the photos, but I will try taking some closer shots and video before I do my next round of work.

I took advantage of the Autogeek "PRIME25" sale to pick up a big bottle of the Pinancle Jeweling Wax (AIO) and some additional pads. Hopefully I'll be ready next time I get the wild hair to work on the paint. In the meantime I'll be driving!
