   I had a productive morning.   
      
   My wife's Mazda CX-9 had had a front end mishap at one point, and the   
   bumper fascia has popped out of the body. I found a Mazda parts site   
   that sold the retainer clip, and after 30 minutes of popping plastic   
   retainers, unscrewing the clip (1 8mm and 1 10mm hex-head screws, very   
   odd...) and a bit of superglue, it's all back together and looking   
   pretty good.   
      
   A bit of polishing compound took care of the glaze on the headlight   
   surrounds - for now. I'll need to do them properly and clear-coat them   
   next time.   
      
   I had a hole in the dashboard, and fixed it with a bit of Sugru. Took   
   a 220 sanding block to it to flatten it out, followed up with a bit of   
   flat black paint.   
      
   At this point, all of the major nits when I bought the car are taken   
   care of. There are a couple of light scratches that the place used   
   that colored wax on that are showing through, a proper exterior   
   detailing should take care of that.   
      
   Next on my list - tires. It's currently got "H/T" tires on it, not   
   sure if they'd be better than properly rated all-season tires.
