Good point I think the instructions say 24 hours but will check.
It's oem mazda touch up paint, I just fill the chips with a cocktail stick dipped in the paint. Not perfect but at least the eye isn't drawn to them.
What have you done to your car today?

What's rain? Not had any here in about 3 weeks!
Was good and clean there at least!Washed it on Sunday only for it to rain last night, so it's now dirty again!

Yep, both cars currently look like a sodding leopard.
Not today but Easter Monday. Managed to adjust the seat! It's something I've meant to do since I bought the car, but step 1 in the owners manual is 'remove the seat' 
.
Anyway, lots of (careful)swearing and fiddling later the seats are out. It's quite nerve wracking tbh, the rails easily scratch the carbon tub pretty badly and the threads are very very easy to cross-thread. As you can imagine cross-threading a carbon tub is probably bad news, so it took a lot of patience and a bit of praying to get it all back together.
On the plus side now it's done it is indeed much comfier. The problem is as stock the seat base is entirely flat, no rake at all you're almost sat at 90 degrees. I've lifted the front of the seat base now, so got that thigh support and also a bit more lean on the backrest - much much better.

Just waiting for some Autosol to do the exhaust.

What did you use to polish it? I find these high gloss plastic trims are super soft and scratch up like nothing else!Plastic
yep, as above with the dash cluster but used a slightly more aggressive compound. iBrid Nano with one pass coarse pad and Chemguys v32 followed by one pass soft pad and Chemguys v36.
It is, but it's exactly that, a filler. It doesn't remove the swirls.

Excuse me sir but what are you doing with the rest of the mirrors?

I was about to bin them but if you want them they're yours for the cost of postage. They're just the cases and wiring, no glass or motors.
