Very nice sticker Dan.
BTW, what are you using on the paint ?
I have the car professionally detailed every 4 months, and the guy uses a clay bar, 3M imperial hand glaze, and blitz wax.
Today I brought it to the happy hippo deionized H20 coin wash in SD. The high pressure sprayer gets 95% of the brake dust and crap off of the paint. Then I fill a bucket with water and used detailers soap to gently suds off the rest of the dirt. (Which by this time is minimal) I washed the soap off with 100% deionized water, which has NO minerals in it, so that when I dry the car I am not rubbing any crap back into the paint. To dry, I water blade the car and go all over it with 2 diapers (One to make get the water into tiny beads and the other to absorb the trail), making sure to get into all the body seams. Finally, I quick detailed the car with two more diapers so that any wipe marks or other eyesores on the paint are smoothed out and the car shines.
Then I did the wheels and door jambs and the other general stuff you hit when you do your car, and to finish the job I hit my seats with lexol. (They drank that stuff up!)
