I posted in the "what did you do detail related today" about debadging the front fenders, looks kinda busy, IMO. I see you did the rear and it's smooth back there, tie it in
You mentioned a smaller car for your son, well, I'm sure an incredible deal can be had on an Abarth and they even make em' with 2 pedals in case your son can't drive a stick
Looking forward to this build thread!

Re: 2018 Q50 RedSport 400 gets the business
Car looks great! Any issues with the Mckees paint coating? I just used it (the new version) on my black car and found it very difficult to remove. Like trying to remove maple syrup at times. Turned out great in the end but it was a very slow process with a whole lot of microfibers used in the process.

No real issues. It's great stuff but I too have found it a bit difficult to remove. Like you, it's thicker and removal times vary greatly with humidity. My garage is heated and today it was about 70 degrees inside with medium humidity thanks to a rinseless wash I did. Working time was long and removal was difficult too. Does work great though. I use CarPro 16x16 Suede Rags for removal. When / if it leaves a slight smudge or smear I use a clean Short MF Towel.

Good to know it wasn't just me. It's totally different with how thick it goes on and the spray feature. I applied it in my garage the other day - low humidity but it was only about 58 degrees in there. I just couldn't seem to find a rhythm with it.

Thought the McKee's paint coating was supposed to be easy to use. Just bought a bottle to try out.
This is good to know before hand. Dang...

So far very nice. If you're coming up from the IS250 you'll love it for sure.
