Fun Weekend - 56K beware

Did a few things this weekend.

Started off with my lady's sister's BMW. It didn't need much of anything. I ended up doing this:

Wash
Clay
Pro Polish on White
EX-P on Blue
Collinite 845

Next, I borrowed my lady's brother's Yamaha. Just a simple wash and wax. It was pretty nasty. Yes, the front and rear fairings are flat black, while the tank is glossy (it was in a wreck.)



To finish off my night, I restored some headlights on my friend's Lincoln LS. He was very pleased.

Nice job. I worked on installing a cam syncronizer in the SC to only have it not start when I was done.

First wet-sanded with 800 grit sandpaper
Then wet-sanded with 2000 grit sandpaper
Followed that with #85 on a 3" wool pad
Followed by Plast-X on a 3" foam pad
