I know you guys dig the pictures, but those are coming last in this one.
Garrison and I plugged my laptop into the Hydra tonight and went for a spin. He seemed impressed with the number and extent of the features it can read and log. I haven't taken a look at the data we collected yet, but I've taken a quick look at the manual for the Hydra, and it's evident I have a lot of learning to do.
Here's part two from today:
Upon looking at the headlights, I noticed that they were rather short of "bright", and it's far too easy to see the bulbs with the clear front lenses. I've decided to use the spare set of headlights (that we all have, I'm told) in my garage to replace the tinted and cleared ones on the car right now.
Naturally, the first thing to do is clean them up. These things get yellow very easily! I figured I'd try something different than I've used before; I used a Meguire's Headlight Restoration Kit. Using the pad on the drill is plenty easier than three grits of sandpaper, which were the contents of the last kit I used. The box also contained the buffing goo, a cloth for clearing the goo off, and a sample of some sort of interior cleaner. After using the pad, it rinsed off easily. I was impressed with the results! The kit, and the before and after:

Dormant in my basement for months was this grille, scheduled to be painted Pearl White for the Pearly, but it's got a new destination!
