    I'll always have a soft spot for the 70s and 80s Firebirds. Those wheels are instant nostalgia.

    I do a trick with car headlights if you wet sand the windshield with a 600 grit until it’s white or clear blue whatever the colors windshield is until the dirt off it which is soap and water and 600 grit sandpaper you can shoot it with clear like a 1K and it look brand new
