@viperr: Looks good. I like the look you have going on with the trunk spoiler, roof spoiler and the JDM mud gaurds. If you don't mind me asking, which roof spoiler did you go with? Did it come painted?
Thanks guys! Roof spoiler comes painted and all you have to do is give them the color code. The seller is very responsive. Here's the ebay link below.
I meant your trunk spoiler haha not the roof one. Although the roof one looks good too painted.
Oh okay! Yeah, thats the OEM non-Fsport trunk spoiler (luckily it came with the car when I bought it). Looks like there are quite a few on ebay selling the OEM painted ones too.
Started paint correction and only got the roof,trunk & hood done today. The process I do is essentially polishing the car 3 times. A lot of work but, it will be good for a year till I do the whole process all over again next year.

Looks amazing. I need to do mine again soon, I also have to remove the factory clear bra that was on the car when I bought it, it looks really bad. What products do you like to use and what pads?
I was just watching this video last night from a channel I sub to and got alot of good tips form him.
I want to try out the microfiber polishing pads. I've used 105/205 mostly in the past, this last time I did my car I used some chemical guys polishes which didn't really work as well.
I've been using Glare for several years now along with some Adam's polishes to maintain between annual paint correction. Whats nice about the Glare is that you can really bear down on the buffer without damaging the surface. I use a el cheap o Craftsman $40 orbital with run of the mill microfiber store bought bonnets. Then just use a cheap detail spray to keep the microfiber moist. The Glare will last many years since it takes very little product. It's a very long process.
I'll post more pics. when I get the sides done. To achieve the best results it takes longer than a day to correct the paint properly. I took me 8 hours just to finish the roof,hood and trunk.
^ No more accurate words have been said. I used to take a full day to do a 2 stage buff and polish on a car that needed a buff. But I wasn't doing actual glazing. Just 105/205 wax. I use a rotary for heavier scratches and then come back with an orbital and some 205 then I wax with the orbital as well. I have only had one car where you can really see the results because it was red. All of my other cars since then have been silver which doesn't show a ton of depth.

Yeah whenever I do full details with clays and polishes it always seems to be a full day project. I've only polished my black GS once using the chemical guys stuff. I think I need to be a bit more aggressive since there are quite a few scratches from the previous owner I need to get out, I had better results when I used 105/205. +1 on the Adams stuff, reminds me I need to order some more. Was always a huge fan of all of the products! I also really like alot of the Sonax products like Polimer net shield.
Hardest part was the trunk lights, since they use a different plug and have more wires. So you have to take off your old plug connector and swap it over to the new lights and make sure to put the wires back in the correct pins.
