So ended up finally have time to do my own paint correction and Ceramic Application. GW is a interesting beast as its very hard to find/see swirls but also you need a massive amount of light to see imperfections. I counted probably 6 small pieces of contaminants in the clear that would require some wet sanding.

Needless to say while I can do it, I won't be doing it, I just went with a ultra conservative with a fine pad and fine polish and got about 80% of imperfections maybe more but its so hard to tell I doubt anyone can see besides my self with a LOT of light.

Started off with a proper wash/coffee

All washed up

Followed in after washing

Quality/Fitment: 7/10

Value: 9/10 (all three for sub $200 (at the time) its not bad. Wish it had yellow logos.

If you are OCD about weather matts I would say wait for weather tech or get Husky Liners tho they seem to be having some of their issues as well.

Making my own R1S Camp Kitchen! I should have a final prototype ready in two/three weeks. Ideally it will have legs and handles to just setup and run a power cord, but fits flush in the rear storage with out removal of spare tire (no water tank) but this picture showers water tank underneath. IT WILL have some things like Legs/Handles to remove the whole thing from the vehicle so your car doesnt smell.

Im thinking not too many people would want to use water inside anyways so watertank can be any sizing.
