Again, thank you! I'll update a thread once the race wheels are put on and I get the front lowered. I have MPSS's on the way as well. While the wheels really do look better in person, it is just too busy for my tastes. I'll be swapping those out for the 017's and then have the monoblocks set aside for track.

I don't touch my own paint let alone let some dumb high school kid making minimum wage do it. Well at least you got her all prettied up again. Nice job.
Yeah man, it wasn't horrible but the thing is with these water-based clears, they really are susceptible to marking up. If you don't constantly change out your cloth, you're going to have visible marks. I generally go through 15-20 micro fiber towels in the polish/wax stage and only use t-shirts to wipe it away. Then I hit it with a soft buffer to bring out the deep shine. It came out really nice. Funny part is I know this process will disappear once it hits the track. The paint is just going to be victimized. But until then....!
