Washed it!
I forgot how pretty it was when shiny.

2-step polish and ceramic coating done! I’ll need a proper photoshoot soon. The paint is singing!

I picked up both Ka signals ¼ mile ahead in twisting hills, and the officer was slightly hidden behind a berm at that. Amazing accuracy of signal beep and display showed almost exactly when i would encounter both cops. Very happy because it would’ve been a >40mph citation

Escaped another Ka trap on the Taconic Pkwy but that was also alerted by Waze. Much easier terrain to track radar too, unlike the amazing feat the R7 pulled off against the other two traps out on the rural backcountry roads.

Beautiful!
A1 Black looks spectacular when clean and glossy. Nicely done

Just walked by it a few times, and considered moving it to another position in the shop.

Those both get good reviews but are not cheap. Pays for itself if you save money on tickets though.

Glad it functions well. Thanks for the info.

Anything that gives a warning +1 km is good, they need to be within a km and have to sample twice here.

Laser is more sporadic. The 991 has a jammer, and, touch would, never been tagged in it.

Fired up my old Gopro. Ordered an external mic today to get some good in car video with the exhaust noise instead of wind noise.

Cross pipes do sound good; my 3" Speedtech was very good, for me, not so much for everyone else.

It's buckeye energy on buckeye rd in Emmaus. It's my logging road and judging by all the skidmarks, a lot of people's test road lol.
