Polish Time! (Updated Pics!)
so being in tallahassee brings very harsh conditions for car paint. we got ******ty water that leaves huge white spots, pollen, tree sap, and dumb college kids who get drunk and put ranch dressing all over your car (yes this happened to me) lol. so i decided while im down on break i would polish her up. took me 7 hours but wow was it worth it. heres the process: wash, clay, wash, tape, stage 1 polish, stage two polish, sealer, wash, wax, done. there are now NO swirls in my paint it looks like it came str8 from the showroom. check it out. by the way if anyone is in sofla and wants this done for them im here until january 3rd.
before bumper claying
after bumper claying lol
taping her up
now the fun part (note the sarcasm)
swirl free
decided to clean up my carbon fiber pillars (the sun is a killer)
before polish
after polish
also the plastic grate under the windshield wipers got very chalky looking from the sun (used Fade 2 Black to get it back lookin sexy)
thats all! let me know what u guys think!

Looks Great!!! I am definitely in need of the same kind of attention as the previous owner of my car didn't take care of it at all! Now at least I have a good idea of what kinda process is going to be needed... thanks for the pics!

thanks guys! it was a long process but again it was worth the labor!
as for the tape on the hood we were showing someone what each polish stage did to the paint and how much deeper and swirl-free each stage made it. i was an idiot and didnt take pics of that. pretty crazy though lol
