    I bought some wheel brushes and pulled out my summer wheels and cleaned them off (inside and outside) in preparation for the summer tire change over this weekend.

    Your MINI looks sad. Nice muscle car, but be careful that thing can make you lose your license fast.

    I tested it out on my black rook and A-pillar yesterday and it runs so smooth with a 12 mm throw. It's a nice and balanced machine with a soft start feature. With the throw it has you do not really need to apply much pressure to get an defect free finish.

    I tested with a white microfiber cutting pad and Sonax Perfect finish compound / polish and it finished down awesome with a little residue to wipe off. The roof came out perfect because it was already in great condition to start with. :ihih:

    The black OEM MINI A-pillar was a nice surprise because it came out flawless without any "spiderweb" scratches at all and looks like liquid black just like the roof now. :Thumbsup:

    FYI I have a Super bright LED light that I can look at the paint and check for any imperfections.
    https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01CHP76CU/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o02_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

    The Astro 50SL Sunlight 400 Lumen Rechargeable Handheld Color Match Light - CRI 97 has the highest color match rating (CRI 97) of any LED light. This light allows the user to spot color difference and paint imperfections like only a high CRI color match light can.. Specifications: Color Temperature: 4100KWater Proof: IP65 Light Output: 400 Lumens Battery Life: 3-4 Hours Charge Time: 4 Hours Li-Ion Rechargeable: 3.7V/2600 mAh.

    This new toy will pay for itself before the Dragon plus my car will be flawless. :lol::lol:

    You're back in Ohio? I've already sent the link to the listing of your car to a friend that is looking for a new toy. Bringing the new car out to Circleville this year?

    I got it washed today.

    My TPMS light has been on for a few days, but when I went to air up the tires, I dropped my compressor hose, and the tire filling thingy broke into three pieces, and I haven't gotten a new one, yet. I was actually at Lowe's today, buying herbs and pepper plants, but forgot to get a new tire filling thingy.

    BTW, thingy is a technical term some of you may not be familiar with, but don't be embarrassed if you don't know what it is. :biggrin5:
