Default Proper wash and engine dress up

So this was the first proper wash since I bought the car last Wed. The paint condition is driving me nuts and the car has a date with my Rupes LHR15 but I dont know when I will have the time to spend 12-15hrs buffing it out.
I did some engine dress up as well

Looking good! Black is a tough color to keep clean.
I really like the blue contrast under the hood!
Where are you in PA?

Nice! I grew up in Johnstown, PA (65 miles) east of Pittsburgh.
Back in the mid 90's I attended art school in Pittsburgh and lived on East Carson Street.
I had some great memories in Pittsburgh. It has grown so much since I left in 1995!
GO PENS & Steelers!!!!
