After washing and claybar. I put it on stands so I can save my back.

I’ll write a longer post about the car detailing process. In short I foamed, clay barred, compounded, polished, and finally waxed it. I’m almost satisfied with the correction however the PNW has rained for 7 days so I haven’t seen it in the sun yet. I forgot to upload most of the pictures from the camera, so when I get back I’ll do a little longer of a write up.

I washed the s/o CX-5 as well

I used a plunge router after tracing, then tested until it fit.

In other news, I ordered high density two layer foam because I love the look of toolboxes with cutouts for each tool. The process is time consuming and messy. The result is worth the effort. I’m leaving as much space as I can in each drawer so I can add more as I buy more. I’ll also know which tools I’ve lent out and haven’t gotten back yet.

James May would be proud of the tool cutouts.

Don’t worry I have a hammer drawer, and it is my favorite drawer.

How did you trace them?

I did two things first I pushed the tool as hard as I could into the foam then traced the imprint which the tip of the marker followed really well. Then I’d trim all of that out and test fit trim some more until it settled.

Looks really good.

Did you ceramic coat the wheels?

The finish is from the factory.

I tend to just seal the wheels with an Si02 based sealant out of ease.

I’m going to look into this.

I use Si02 based sealants such as CarPro Hydrofoam, Gyeon Wetcoat and or use Gyeon Cure sealant to dry and seal the wheels making them easier to clean next time as well as reducing the amount of build up meaning they look cleaner for longer.
