go ahead, be brutally honest

I'd have to see it in person. My uncle taught me too much about paint and its finer qualities.

Being a painter of various skilled applications for over 12 yrs, I would have to agree. A picture just cannot see like the human eye.

Looks waaaay clean though.

i spot some bird poo stains on the CF hood and some light scratches. and do u have some flake in the paint?

liCelsior: it is a Jade Zenith Gold, from what i understand it is a materialized paint meaning if you scratch it better beware, cause you have to paint the whole thing

Looks clean. Got more pics? Try some straight on, up close of the fenders, maybe the same shot as the first one, but at a larger angle.

What are you using on it?

those are actually paint chips i got those when i drove it from L.A.

I will try to get some pics today, i have to wash and cut/polish her cause it hasn't been done in quite some time and i am starting to see some light swirls in the sun

I used to wash her twice a week and wax her every other week with NXT tech wax, followed up by Mothers pure carnuba to get a wet look. Claybar her when a cut/polish is necessary. Any suggestions on how to make the paint super deep and wet would be greatly appreciated.

Anybody use glaze?? kinda curious to see some results...

after reading this i went out and purchased some products:

Meguiars mirror glaze #2: Fine-cut cleaner
Some MF aplicators: x2 with grip
Zymol: cleaner wax
Meguars NXT Wax

No i had some swirls on both my trunk and hood, so i tried using the mirror glaze followed by the zymol then the NXT wax. I have never had a problem getting rid of the small swirls but for some reason this time it is not working like i would like it to, i still have swirls ??? i think maybe i should try getting the medium cut cleaner #1 followed by the #2, then #26 then the zymol and last the NXT. What do you guys think?? too much ??

I have this thing for deep, wet, high gloss paint, (i want to look into a mirror )

i have a old orbital buffer but i don't have a real PC, i never needed one. do you think the my old orbital will work ??

You need power/heat to remove scratches. If the scratches are really really fine, you might be able to use your buffer, ONLY IF you have the right pads. But I doubt you have the pads you need. Those older buffers do not have variety of pads to choose from.

so should i wait to use the products until i purchase a PC ???
