Still in the break in period. Gotta start somewhere! Lug nuts seemed like as good a place as any.

Looks good. I was thinking about doing this myself.

Wanted the wheel locks anyway. Full set wasn't that much more and I like the look.

Another quick bath. Retuned it back to stock for a dealer visit and the hood wouldn't shut. After a few attempts slamming it down, I took a quick peek to see what the deal was and the 3-bar sensor was all smashed up... $45 down the drain ordering another 3-bar sensor today.

At least wasn't the hood getting all dented!!! Sensor is much cheaper fix!

I always have this fear of shutting the hood with an obstruction! Check, check and recheck. Think of Tommy Boy.

LMAO!!! And I spilled by beer.

^^Lol!

I'm normally pretty good at making sure everything is picked up, but I was in a hurry and it was late. Speaking of the hood, I never checked to see if there is any damage...

After posting the above pictures, I noticed the next day I had knocked the "I" off the Lincoln badge in back while hand drying it. Using a hair dryer and plastic squeegee, I peeled the remaining letters off. Used Goo Gone to remove the adhesive and Megs Ultimate Compound/M205 by hand to finish it off.

Snagged a new MTM-Hydro 14.0349 (I think that's right) foam cannon and gave it a shot.

Very pleased with how thick the foam was (almost shaving cream like) and strongly suggest it to anyone.

I mix my soap a little more on the heavy side (they suggest 3oz, I give it about 4.5oz) and always have.

Combined with a waffle weave dry, I was quite impressed for a 30 minute wash.

No pics guys/gals...I didn't have my phone at the time and I don't have the motivation to back it out of the garage.

However, I will chime in with an update in a few days, as I wash it at least once a week.

Where did u order that one?

 

[Lostneye]

Saandman on Etsy. He didn't have Taurus listed but I messeged and ordered(I'm guessing that's why I got the wrong one as he told me to order any set for the price quoted and he would take care of it). It looks great but he is slow, over a month to ship originally and 2 weeks and the correct rear one hasn't shipped yet.

Had professional wax and ceramic coating put on the car. I think it looks great. We'll see if the cleaning benefit of the ceramic pans out.

 

[SHOdded]

Do you know specifically which product was used?

It's called Servfaces...made in Dresden, Germany. Since I'm in Germany, seems right to have a German product put on.

Rake fell off the rack and hit my car. So now I'm learning to fill scratches and wet sand... Wet sanded one spot tonight and added more paint to the other scratches to build them out. Plan to sand them down and polish them out. Always something it seems.
