Got the car clay barred and started on the hood which I had painted awhile ago and wasn't really happy how it came out. Here's a pic before using M-205. I should have done this awhile ago.

spent close to 10hrs on getting the car back to like new with the paint. 1st was washing the car & removing the wax then I clay barred it, next I used maguiars 205 with a rotary buffer, followed by maguiars #9. finally I used maguiars carnauba gold wax. came out looking like it did when it rolled off the assembly line. no more swirl marks or scratches, just a sea of VR!!!

I really don't have a timeline for any mod I do, just try and spread them out so I don't end up divorced. Cam is next on the to do list tho.

I'm with ya. I've been wanting to put a cam in for awhile now but other things had to come first, like remolding the kitchen. That's done so it's my turn.
"happy wife- happy life".
