So a couple weeks ago we picked up a random orbitol and a bunch of cleaning stuff at Griots Garage Sale. The 540 was the test run and it's done. This weekend it was the 7s turn. Here's how it went.

Step 1: Wash and Dry - in the shade of course

Ouch, look at those cone marks, we really need to stop hitting those:

Step 2: Prep and clay- who's a dirty girl

Step 3: Polish - watch out girl with power tool

Polish pulled some paint:

Z - If you buy the product, you are more than welcome to come over and use the garage and random orbital.

Kompressor - you're not getting close enough

Hitting the cones is half the fun.

A couple words of advice for you all. Blue tape will pull the paint off spray-painted trim (oops) - don't worry woundup - I have a plan that involves you, some tape and some black brake caliper paint.

Next is glass polish, can't hardly wait.
