    My poor boy is looking rough... hell...

    As some of you k ow, I'm back in the drivers seat of Albus. This means, I'm the one doing maintenance again.

    Yesterday I removed 10lb of garbage, added 20+ psi to each tire to get them back to factory psi. Today I gave it a quick wax to really see how the paint was fairing. The answer is, badly. Not attached is a chip riddled hood, and a bunch of other problems.

    I know I can't pop the one bad dent, being on a crease line, but over the next month I'll be stripping the wax, doing a FULL touchup job, then following it up with a full correction. Going full out, starting with an entire car wet sand, then a few stages of polish.

    I can't believe how badly my wife has neglected the car for the last year. It kills me.

    I mean I don't expect her to fix the paint, but let me know when you hear a massive crack on the Drivers A Pillar or see a newish ding at the mall.

    Hate to break up this party, but please let's stick to talking about the Mirage.
