Preparing for ceramic - swirlies be gone!

Spent all afternoon into this evening washing, clay barring, compounding, polishing and IPA wiping to prep the monster for ceramic love.

Knocked out some swirlies from the 2017 mineral grey finish. Worked out a nice mirror-like finish.

Looking good, it always takes longer than expected but the result is too good to not stare at
