Used a leaf blower to dry the car

Using my new Highline II PTG, there were some 80micron areas on the hood and trunk lid, but overall the car was very healthy. Signs of repair work was obvious from the 1000+ micron readings on the front fenders and the passenger side rear quarter panel

Doesn't really matter since both are really waxes. Prob using 845 as a base since it has crazy durability.
