Clayed, paint cleaned, compounded, polished, sealed then waxed the MX5 after some severe water spots that were baked in the hot Sydney weather after a slight drizzle.

Pity I had to do this considering I did a 11 hour detail 5 weeks ago....either acid rain or something else in it considering the bush fires we have had of late...

During the track day on Monday I wasn't thinking and put my fuel can on my bootlid to syphon, forgetting that although I cleaned the bottom of stones before, I had to put it down again to go and open the fuel door. Oops.
