    2 things I love about this post...

    You're relentless pursuit to either reduce or eliminate those stubborn water/mineral spots. There are some things that take a little more perserverance to correct and you showed that well!

    The other thing is the red seat belts and red accent stitching on that interior.

    Very nice work!
