I totally missed the part about your car being an IS-F... nice car!

Here is a thread that was posted on Autogeek Online Forums of a full correction of a brand new IS-F. Gives you an idea of what a properly detailed paint job will look like when completed.

*Note: Do not pay much attention to the products used, as IMO they are a bit too aggressive. While he seems to be able to finish down very well with an orange pad, I would think you will need something like a black pad as your final polishing pad.

I think you need to come out to one of the Atlanta meets and talk to Heckler. He's taught me a lot and I'm sure he will give you some pointers to making your ride look perfect!

I went to the only one I had seen so far. The Vossen/Tilted Kilt meet last month or whatever. Going to the one at buckheard perforamnce shop also, mainly for the dyno.
