I used that on mine as well a few weeks ago. The water beads up great and bird poop comes right off.
Good suff

I use their other stuff for my plastic and rubber as well. Works great. Put it on my tires too. Keeps them nice and black without being shiny

303 Aerospace Protectant. I use it on everything that is not metal, glass, or fabric. I do leather with a leather conditioner and then 303 Aerospace
Just like Franks Red Hot Sauce... I put that **************** on everything!

Mileage is within 500 miles of my own & already has the obc activated so should only need the DME portion done if I have read it right.

Also received the pressure sensor to fit also so hopefully get these fitted next weekend

I hope the drive home is short or you may have hot yogurt and cooked turkey (?).

Best way to do this is to copy and paste your old clusters file onto the new cluster using an EPROM programmer.
That way, the VIN will match and you won't have to worry about the odometer not matching when/if you ever sell the car

AS original thread topic.

Replaced my Braille battery today. 21 pounds. After I realized I had installed the original Braille 20 pounder back in June '09 I feel I could go another 5 years with a new one. Also clay barred, Imperial Hand Glazed the hood then waxed it. Both fenders and now the hood are clean and waxed. Next front fascia then both doors etc. Lost the crest off one of my wheel caps so now I need to get another one or a whole new set...decisions...!
