Too me less time to do an entire bloody car!

There's loads of clear coat left, i can tell, doing it by hand is a bad idea it will leave uneven bits.

Wouldn't do that without a block, you'll have high and low spots otherwise

Seems to be something to do with your ownership of vehicles. Is the weed you've dropped inside it rotting it? Or did you sell bits to score some?
