Drive safely.
Hope the weather cooperates.
Tell your wife the Porsche is like a new pair of shoes and she'll understand.

No wait. Don't do that. She'll then figure out what you spent and calculate how many pairs of shoes she can get. Bad idea, I take it back.

Buffed an 03 black pick up w/ Polish #2 and my Griot's Random Orbital last weekend. Removed all the acid rain and swirl marks from the drive thru car wash. Remarkable results and very easy to use.

I'll remove it when I get home. Just some sprinkles in Florida.

Best of luck

It looks great! I agree that you probably don't want to keep the bra on long-term. However, you may as well leave it on for the road trip back.

Later, evaluate the paint, get it as close to perfect as humanly possible, and then check out clear bras... wOOtPorsche did this on his 911... you may want to check with him...

He was driving a 03 Mustang drk. green cruiser, blacked out glass, looked real cool. I was driving my 996 twin. Any way, before he went back to the cruiser he said, "look, you seem like a nice guy and if I sumit this ticket as written, You are going to have to pay a lot of sur-charges on your insurance. if you let me add on an extra $25.00 to the fine, I will break it up and sumit it as violations other than speeding, and Va. will not notify Ma."

So he "SUPER SIZED" my ticket to $137.00 but true to his word, never heard a thing from MA. DMV. Be careful out there.
