Thanks for all the compliments.

I promise that I have about two hours in all the work. Get some clay and your favorite wax and buffer and "shine em up !"

Now a caveat......the AE is not my DD, never driven in the rain and gets Quick Detailed each time when I get home. 22500 on the clock and a whole lot of fun.

Here's another pic I took without a flash in the garage

Looks awesome! What brand buffer do you use? Thanks, David
