haven't really done much besides just a basic wash... just started a new job back in december doing auto policy sales at GEICO and there's been a lot to learn over the past few months, it's been kinda tiring and when i get home i don't really wanna first go wash my cars lol... it's all been very informative though, my main takeaways as far as how to have an affordable policy are don't get into an accident, have a license for at least 3 years, and don't live in brooklyn or the bronx lol

We’ll see though. And yes I agree, these rims are gorgeous. They really make the car pop out in a subtle way.

They already have Michelin Primacies with at least a couple of years of life left, maybe 30k miles. The tires pleasantly surprised me in person for how good they look (better than described), this seller was legit. I need tires anyway for my current rims so a thousand bucks really isn’t bad at all for these rims since they come with good Michelin’s.
I can’t wait to put them on. But I think I’m going to do that last after I have the paintwork done.

Bad. I’ll get a shot of it at some point. Big chips of paint gone. Something flew up and hit my bumper like a floormat (but stouter) on the interstate once. It’s not THAT horrendous but yes definitely noticeable to anyone’s naked eye if the car is sitting.
Luckily though paint on the actual body of the car is all still in excellent condition. Just the way the garage light reflects the paint quality is pretty stunning. As you know LS cars have always had amazing paint. (You said your 460 had a better paint job than your S-Class)
My rear bumper has already been redone from a fender bender and the place the car got sent did an amazing job and it looks brand new. So it will be nice to have it all fixed in the front too.
I’m also going to have the Cadillac of details done to it once everything is finished. Expensive wax, the works. New floor mats.
