Getting the TA ready for spring
I got into paint correction work last summer and I'm quite amazed at what you can do with Menzerna compound, polishes and sealants along with a DA.
I've been doing certain panels at a time due to having kids and only getting the time once they're in bed. The spoiler, rear deck, roof and rear quarter are all polished and sealed. Will add some color lock carnauba tomorrow once the sealant has cured.
I did cut the paint with SI1500 last fall and did a quick polish so I'm just trying to work all the real fine stuff out now.
The paint isn't original and once you really get into paint correction you really start to pick apart the base and clear work.

Nice job. Looks really good. I did the same last year topped off with cquarts finest by car pro.

Looking good! I just had my car painted and when it's done the shop agreed to do a wet sand to get rid of the major orange peel, they aren't a detail shop so they didn't want to do more than that. Then I was going to let it cure a couple months before doing what you are doing.
