Got a chance to finally give the car a proper wash and wax, here are the results
I need more time with the camera, also it was starting to get dark so I couldn't many shots with the sun. Gonna be layering a 3rd layer of Titanium tomorrow and then going to finally call it finished.

Good tip to anyone washing their cars; use a leaf blower to dry your car. Its the best trick ever. Esp. when it comes to the wheels. Your car will require a nice amount of wax on it or it will take a bit longer.

I find that a leafblower is only good on a car that already has a LSP on it, otherwise it doesn't blow the water cleanly off and ends up drying it on the paint. I agree the leafblower for the wheels work wonder by drying them very fast and allowing you to start waxing/shining them up much sooner than if you were to dry it with a MF towel.

I never thought about using a leaf blower. I use my compressor to blow off water around all the lights, door handle, mirror, grill, etc....

Hi, new owner here, thanks to everyone in this post and forum for tips and advice. I have read most of the posts on upgrading the computer software to add HP and have talked to SR Aut Group who say they can add 80HP. Has anyone used them for this? Also I have an annoying brake squeak that others have posted about. Can Sebring Silver or anyone tell me which dealer changed the pads for them as MB Broadway is giving me grief on this.
Thanks
Thanks
