Thanks!
The bumper is not waxed yet, as it's still freshly painted, much as it looks really nice in the last photo.
Actually, the bumper has a fine layer of dust and a nice spatter of my blood caused by me cutting my finger when doing the install. It's not a project unless blood is shed during the process.
I detail the car with Mother's Pure Carnuba Wax. Hand apply, orbital buffer with a terry mitt to remove the wax, then buff with a microfiber mitt. It's great wax and I hear that a lot of enthusiasts that show their cars swear by it.
This nice weather is killing me... I'd love to have the car out up until they start salting the roads, but I don't want to be washing the car in freezing weather in order to cover it up. My car has a seasonal plate on it, so after November it's pretty much done for the year, unless I decide to renew the tag before the spring (I actually have a tag up until Feb. this year due to a screw-up by the DMV).
The next time it will be out on the roads will be Jan 20th to go and have the side skirts fitted by Holberts... I'm praying for a couple of road salt-free days.
The only annoyance in fitting the bumper was the a small area of clear coat around around the side markers crazed a little, so I'll have to get that fixed - thankfully the vendor has agreed to cover the cost of fixing the paint. otherwise it wasn't a bad job to do.
