Detailed the Boxster Yesterday

What better a way to spend a Monday when you have the day off? :p

Good 4 hours of effort. Used my go-to car wax, Collonite 845.

Yeah, I wasn't 100% thrilled with having to pay for the shipping back to them given that the upgrade didn't work, but I'm happy with the end result, so I'm not going to lose sleep over $15.

Thanks for the input gang...I'm waiting to hear back from Becker. I get the same result through both an iPhone 8 and an iPhone 12. I have a suspicion it's going to have to go back, but we'll see.
