Yep, that's what I was talking about protective coatings instead of wax, then waxing that stuff.

I don't know which brand he used, but that is the stuff like on the Cayenne.
Told the detailer it was my daily driver and I needed to look good with LOTS of durability.
Detailer says he uses different brands based on the make to work better with that manufacturer's paint.
I just run it thru a car wash and it looks like new.
I don't even notice were Pepper's toe nails should scratch the paint where she hangs out the window.

I need to replace my headlights. They are kinda fogged and detailer can't buff it out. Looks better for a month or so then it comes back. The left headlight is the worst, kinda matches my current eye sight though.

Busy Saturday, wore the builders hat and repaired the concertina door between the lounge and library (door dropped). The plumbers hat went on and the kitchen mixer removed and un-calcified, then I got to use my electrical licence and fit a new sensor light for the driveway.

Now relaxing after dinner with the missus and a nice shiraz. Footy season, woohoo!

Burp.
Typical good food but slow service at Baluu's. We not have two members with brand new GT4s. Cool.

Seems like service is always slow at Baluu!


And cool! Love the GT4. We are trying to find someone in AZ to bring one to the shop!

Have extra bacon for me, Glen!

Today, like yesterday, started out with a nice long walk around the nearby harbor. After b-fast, the honey-do's continue...

Kicking back by the fire tonight.

We spent the day in my hometown helping my mom and sisters with projects.

Visited by BIL at the hospital where he is still recuperating from the heart surgery. He has had quite a few setbacks but is improving slowly.

I helped my younger sister set up a trampoline that they bought used with no instructions. We got all of the tension springs installed and THEN found the handy tool you use to pull them into place. I just used my paws which resulted in a nice raw spot. DOH!

Not yet, Sid, but we've been busy working on settling in here. Thanks for the reminder!

Think 6:30 is when Starbucks opens for those in dire need. At least around here anyways.

I'm not a big fan of getting up at the crack of midnight to go to a cars and coffee. The thought of setting an alarm to wake me sends shivers up and down my spine.

Azzy, how far along is Pusha towards making her roadworthy?
