easy to pop out, one less rubber seal to tape off
I'm no pro detailer but that is my guess

EDIT: just checked the link, wow. Now you need a "special" towel supply Mark. You don't want to let just anything touch that surface... the fine scratches will return in no time.

Midnight blue never looked better! Really nice result...

Looks great.

Considered getting this done also. I drive by these guys almost every day. Dare I ask how much they charged for the job?

How do you get the windshield sprayers to release from the hood?

Fantastic! I'm excited b/c the midnight blue paint on my '96 looks much the same as yours did, with quite a few superficial blemishes and scratches. Very encouraged to see that it's possible to have it restored to like-new (or maybe even better). Thanks for sharing!
