Semi re-polished, and used Jescar's PowerLock + Collonite 845.

I didn't wait 3hrs for the sealant to cure, hopefully it adhered OK. Also, wrapped the gloss black in the interior black brushed metal. I couldn't stand looking at the fingerprints and the dust.

That interior wrap looks really good man!! The car is shining more than it was on your last week's detail!

Did you wrap your window trim yourself? If so how did you do it? Did you remove the trim or did it on the car?

Thanks! really happy with the sealant+wax combo this time around. Taking off the PowerLock was amazing, so slick and smooth.

Yeah, I wrapped the window trim myself, and left the trim on the car. It looks pretty bad up close, since there's nowhere to tuck in the vinyl on the top chrome trim, a bad cut will end up exposing the chrome. I normally just overlay a small piece of vinyl over where the chrome is exposed. I still need to do that on some parts. 3M Knifeless tape does help a lot on the top, the bottom trim is pretty easy to do.

Thanks! I have no idea how I'm going to wrap the gloss black on the armrest/controller thing.

Gave her quick wash to get the pollen off and some spray wax. Then into the garage.

That looks awesome, better than GS's on showroom floors!

Can't really tell in this picture, but I wrapped my side mirrors. Next up the roof.

Thanks, it's the rep Lexon lip from ebay. I got it for $56, he's only got one more left, and he's marked it up to $1,056 so it won't sell out before he can produce more. HERE

Mwahaha I ordered the last one after we spoke on reddit. Got it in last week and will mount later this month!
