3 days, 20+ hours in now but getting closer. I can't believe the hundreds of tiny chips when you really get down and rub and polish every inch by hand. Oh, well. This is probably the best the paint gets after 190,000 miles and 15 years on the road

Starting on the interior tomorrow I guess. Nothing else to do...

Black is so hard to photograph, at least for me. It really is striking the difference it made. I can see my neighbors house 4 houses down in the reflection.

I will try to take some better pics in the shade, I just wanted to see the wheels sparkling in the sun after 4 hours spent on them alone.

Looks great OB! I know what you mean about the little chips and scratches. Drives me nuts every time I wash my truck myself. But, like you said, hi mileage and 14 years on the road takes its toll.
