I’m starting to run out of things to do on the car and the weather was too wet to enjoy driving so I brought the the DA polisher out and had a half hearted go on the roof. Grand Prix White must be the least rewarding colour to polish.

John what polish and pads are you using?

Afshin, I use a 5 inch backing plate with 5.5 inch generic pads. Menzerna and Gyeon products. I’ve become semi addicted to the wet coat as it appeals to my sense of laziness

I imagine so. It supposedly coats the paint for 6 or so months so maybe less durable than a ceramic coating. The instructions are spray and immediately rinse off. It gives a deep shine with no physical polishing.

It’s amazing to me that I can have a car for 5 years and somehow subliminally not notice that my wheel well liner has taken a big hit sometime in the past. I had to pay a silly price for an excellent condition used part, but when has price deterred me before. Now it’s all good.

With the exception of resolving the carpet saga and locating the mechanism for the rear spoiler, I’m pretty much finished so I went to my local beach at sunrise for a photo shoot. It’s the best time of day to make the GPW paint pop.

Wow, the paint looks fantastic! Very nice job with the polishing.

You noted that the wheel well liner was used, it looks new though!
