My Walky mats and sill plates and the front after a wash

I like the sill plates a lot.. very classy.

That water spotting will etch in if you don't clear it up. If you have a quick detail spray, just give it a wipe over and that will clear it up (white spots around the sill plate)

The S2 front end looks fantastic in black! Got some good reflections going on there too! Nice.

It's a good feeling to get your car looking good.

My longest detail so far has been 8 days (wasn't my car). Admittedly though, not 8 full days. But you could easily spend 2 weeks on a concourse finish.

its quite a good feeling of accomplishment once u do it just a question, do get rid of the sidi badge i just get some fishing line behind it and slice it off and then start buffing out the glue?

nice man, should get some engine bay pics too!

Don't try and buff the adhesive - it will just make whatever you're using to buff it stick to the paint. You need to try and remove the adhesive either chemically or with some clay. But being as new as it is, you might find that if you rub your thumb (skin, not nail) over the adhesive it will be soft enough to just roll up like blutack. Fishing line or dental floss will work fine. If it's cold out, maybe warm it up with a hair dryer first - that can help to soften the adhesive. Once you're done, wipe over it with some IPA if you have it and put some wax on it (obviously won't be any wax under the badges from factory)
