[DeTomaso] Paint

[MyCars]

I spent almost 2 hours last night applying the wax (Griot's Best of 
Show), it is carnuba. I let it set over night, this morning I spent 
almost 4 hours rubbing it out.

The car looks great! But my arms are dead & my back is sore.

I went to a weekly car show this afternoon. More than one person (who 
have previously seen the car) thought that I had the car repainted, one 
person even asked where I had the car painted. I guess all that work was 
worth it ;-)
