changed my oil. couldnt find safety glasses for awhile and almost gave up looking for them. good thing i wore them otherwise i would have gotten some hot dirty rotella t6 in the eyeball.
also bought ramps and realized i couldnt drive on to them with my slightly lowered car so i used them as jackstands. worked great!

I've NEVER worn glasses when changing the oil. But cooking bacon, I got hot grease splashed in my eye. Go figure.

So... started at 5 pm. Wheel wash, two stage citrus wash for the rest of the exterior, towel dry, blue tape all the trim, clay bar all paint surfaces, and then first coat of sealant. Just finished with the first layer of sealant. Gonna let that cure while I go to bed. Tomorrow morning one more coat of sealant and then I'm finally done. Total time of work, projected 8.5 hours.
