I have you to thank for your original recommendation. You also mentioned meguairs ultimate detail spray which I have used for years. I tried Wizards Mist and Shine. It is way better especially on dark colors. Word of caution use sparingly and plenty of mf towels or streak city. Excellent dust repellent.

2K clear is the stuff the professionals use, and I use on my headlight retrofits.

No chit, that's what 2K clear is for. It works very well.

Three down one more to go, color looks different inside the shed but it's gold. Thinking of repainting my brembos a glossy candy apple red this evening.

Also car has been feeling sluggish, just did a tune up so I guess I'll clean the maf sensor and clean the intake. I wanna clean the throttle body but to many horror stories I've read lol

Any other suggestions?

My first crack at wrapping...not too bad. If I did it again I could get it perfect on the second try. The fact that the GD license plate bolts were frozen (as they always are) made the job that much harder. Total cost = 9$

I removed the license plate nuts and replaced everything with stainless steel fasteners and anti seize. Hope no one ever steals mine... I had to pull the bumper to fix my broken license plate nuts.

This comes in handy when it snows, I have more than two passengers or when I want to haul something larger than a golf bag. 2012 with 36k on the clock.
