Thanks.

I did it myself - I have a little OCD and like to do these things by myself... LOL.

I hear ya, plus you can't match the satisfaction afterwards of doing it yourself. :tup:

.... Tell me about it! I figure if anything goes south - I've always got insurance! Might as well use what you pay for ... lol. Its what I did on my last car.
I let a few defects build up, then got it all repaired - only costing me my $500 dollar deductable.

Looks great, did you use a wax ? Trying to figure out the easiest way to luster my finish up.

My process was the following:

- Dish Soap Wash (removing any old wax)

- Clay Bar

- Adam's Swirl and Haze Remover + Adam's Revive Polish

- Sealed the Paint w/ Adam's Quick Sealant

Thats all you see in this video, but the next day after the Sealant cured I applyed Ammo Creme wax. This stuff on top of the sealant looks really good.
