You know how my year started? Well at 12 oclock, I put both the dogs in the garage, becuase they freak out and one of them, a big female wolfhound, likes to jump the fence and run when theirs any loud noises. So I walk into the kitchen, and i hear a noise like shes banging on the door with her claws. So i go out there, turn on the lights, see her, then i look at my car (keep in mind its been garaged its entire life and I just got it a month ago. the paint is very very nice) and see a bent hood star. Where i parked my car, the hood is near a window sill, and my dog CAN open windows, if there is something near to climb on . SO i go look, nail scratches everywhere all over the hood of the car, the grill and even the rubber, which isnt that big of a deal but still..


So i looked around and found this stuff called race glaze and i spent almost two hours in the garage buffing out the entire hood. Good news is that almost all the scratches went away, and the ones that didn't you can barely see anymore. But the stuff is amazing, gets rid of ALL the swirls, the hood looks way better than before 12:00. If you don't have any of this stuff, get some.

Sorry your new year got off to bad start. Well at least you don't have to polish the hood for awhile.

I started the new year with some shots. And my car parked under a foot of snow.
