    Today I applied Epic to the MINI. After the final wipe down, noticed I've got water etchings on a little bit of the hood and roof. Not much, just enough to irritate me. With it being a new car, 4 months old, not sure how to tackle eliminating them. Suppose I'm just nervous about doing anything to the paint since its newer.

    On the plus side, the epic really did its job. Really looks good.

    :cornut: Polishing Clay is the answer. It won't hurt the paint. Plug 'polishing clay' into the SEARCH function to the right and above and it will take you to a nice article telling all about it.:Thumbsup:

    Washed both MINIs, Hydro, Hydro, Hydro!

    Got my dealer to replace my Carbon Fiber MINI Mirror caps on the 07 MINI under warranty, I am so pleased.

    CF Mirror Cap on the right was showing some CF crazing, odd for a hand laid product!

    NEW CF Mirror Caps, love it when a plan comes together. :)

    Beautiful day in Dallas! Finally got some rain yesterday and it was probably 75 degrees when I drove in to work. Great day to have the windows down (though 99% of my fellow motorists had their windows up and the AC blasting).

    Be careful Nathan. They sound like they could be "organized". :cornut:

    Tried to figure out why the passenger window won't move up or down. Also tried to figure out why the driver axle clicks every now and then(maybe low on trans fluid?)
