Washed it last night & took off the last rubber marks (AutoGylm Intensive Rubber remover works well).
Stared at it this morning & evening & thought...boy do I love this car!
Work is taking too much time away from driving....
I need another crack, sorry track day!

My approach is sort of the opposite. Heavy wax on the tire mark hot spot areas before a track day, which makes the marks easier to remove later with Mother's, TTR, etc. Using wax to get marks off likely requires more elbow grease than the products designed to remove them, which isn't good for paint/film.

We moved back to Cali from AZ and watched it get unloaded from the Intercity truck...with a dead battery. Someone left the keys in it

track alignment
swap red belts for yellow belts
install harness bar (thanks, Lindsay!)
install B-K sub-mounts
install Scroth 6 point harnesses
install I/O Port camera mount
add GoPro Hero2 camera with remote start

I found a fellow RL selling yellow pulls, so I couldn't resist a complete swap. The yellow belts & pulls look awesome, and now they match the yellow stripe on the steering wheel! Yeah!!! The designer in me is very, very happy.
