Picked it up yesterday, after a few hours cleaning and polishing it came up pretty good.
Simply cleaned, clay barred and AutoGlym Super Resin Polish for now, will DA polish and wax after I have touched up the (very few) little stone chips.
Pretty crappy pics taken in my massive driveway, with the sun at the wrong angle, but will try to get some better ones in the next week or two.
On the Plasti-dip logos, how did you mask the logo on the car like that? Or did you just spray the square and then cut and remove the part that wasn't on the logo? I'm particularly curious how you got the inside of the letters to work so well. Nice work, but I'd love to know how it was done.

Hey enderle, I just used blue painters tape. Tape off the area about an inch away from the emblems. Then I used newspaper to cover the rest of the car. Not to worry if you get any over spray. It comes right off with a microfiber towel. Just spray the plasti dip on. The first coat is pretty light to make a base. Wait 10 minutes between coats then progressively make each application thicker. I did 6 coats.
Wait another 10 minutes after the last application and start to peal the painters tape off. The plasti dip will start to come with it. Then carefully pull the plasti dip and it will automatically tear itself at the crease of the emblems.
For the inside of the letters I used a tooth pic. Just peel back the plasti dip from one edge and continue all the way to the other side. It comes right off at the seams. It works great. And if you screw up you just take it all off and redo it.
No harm, no fowl. There are a lot of youtube videos on plasti dipping.
As the Lobster Run proved once again to point out the wonderful sights sounds and food of Maine, my wife and I went back up to visit our Forum friend Rickyjay and his lovely wife. Another series of perfect weather days and he even got me out on a lobster boat so we could catch last nights dinner. Thanks to him for the hospitality and fun. Along the way we think we created the perfect garage.
