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.

Also, can't match the stiffness in my back.

Legally, you can only call yourself OCD if it looks like that 20 minutes after it rains. lol

.... 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.
