Good morning!

Picked up my car from the wrap shop yesterday and that back bumper is now perfect! very happy with the results... Before / after pix attached. Notice the many shades of gray from the pix showing partly sunny day vs overcast. ( same camera used )

Went to close my pool yesterday and my utility drain pump been using for years broke and wouldn't turn on... ran to HD for best one they had ( 27 gpm ) but still wasn't good enough to drain below the returns before it got dark out so I can cover. ( have to drain about 7,000 gallons of water to get below returns... didn't turn on the pump until 1:30 and took til 6pm to finish. ). left everything out poolside as calm night in the low 40's with no winds...I'll get this taken care of today... have 6 helpers holding cover so I can snap the springs on...should go quick.

Have a great day everyone and stay safe!

What kind is it? DA polishers are pretty fool proof. Start with soft pads and light compound and work up if needed.
