Yes...that's my face when I touch the paint now.
Remember my story about the paint that fucked up in a car wash?
That was the result.
That's the clearest pic I had that shows the weird splatters I had. You can see whiter splatters on the paint.
After 6 hours of work with 1 coat of pure polish, 1 coat of micro-polish, 1 coat of cleaner wax and 1 coat of wax, here's the result!
Yes...I know about the interior...BUT the paint feels amazing....smooth...so smooth that my wax bottle was running off on the hood. There's no more scratches and I did a bit of touch up there and there and some wet sanding. The rear bumper is no longer black because of the exhaust. I did a good job. I deserve a beer. Im'ma go to the shower and go to a bar. See ya!

Quite a few shopping carts around your place. Lot's of homeless or just a close market?

Can you link the exact products you used? (as well as applicators and/or buffers you've got) I have a 96 M that's got some splatters and needs this treatment.
My Starlight Blue Mica thanks you.

Sure. I did a full wash with simoniz wash and wax. Then I've used the 3 step system from Mothers. Step 1 is Mothers Pure Polish. Step 2 is Micro-Polishing Glaze. Step 3 is supposed to be pure Brazilian Carnauba Wax but there wasn't any at the store, so I used Brazilian Carnauba cleaner Wax from Mothers instead. Then I've used regular Wax from Meguiars. I've used Micro fiber cloths to put and remove the products from the paint. Make sure you have 2 cloths per polishing products and only 1 per Wax products. To put the wax, I had a sponge that came with the Wax from Meguiars. Enjoy the awesome paint you'll get...another tip, if you can get a electric polisher, GET IT. My arm hurts and you have to polish manually for quite a while before it goes really off.

I bet it's the electric polisher that gets the bill that high hahaha. But you wont regret it. I can't wait to see the before and after pics.
