Hello and thanks for the compliments.
What I meant by it driving me nuts was that the paint was on the soft side so correcting the paint took hours and just when I thought I had it done, even applied a paint sealant followed 24 hours later by a fine carnauba paste wax, I saw more scratches so I then did the whole car over again......so that means I did about 8 separate polishing steps over 4 days and then applied a paint sealant once again.
Then the wheels were polished and honestly I could have spent another day or two on it if Mike had not come and removed the keys from my hand

I will surely do that. For several years now we have been trying to visit my wifes father who lives near DisneyWorld but it just never works out. If it happens this summer I'll have a good number of people to contact
Thank you for the compliment.
Thank you gentleman!

In 1971 I was 17 and had just gotten a new Mach 1 Mustang in black and silver. I slept in it the night after I took delivery. One day I spent hours detailing it in our driveway beneath the shade of a locust tree. Right after I had finished and was admiring my work, a crow took a giant dump on the hood and remained in the tree apparently laughing loudly at me. I completely lost it and blew him out of the tree with my 12 gauge, in a quiet residential Chicago suburb! I cowered inside the house for an hour while the cops cruised the neighborhood looking for the miscreant.
