Still have the bumpers to do but for once in the
5 years have owned it the paint should be pretty clean..
scratch free not so much. . . First try doing any form of clay on a vehicle.......

 

You want shine? Now , cut and buff the clear coat, start with 1500 wet sandpaper, then 2000, then 3000, then compound, swirl remover and polish, then a sealer and wax . I did that to Oldblue a few years back , it was still shiny when I sold it last summer. No more orange peel or scratches.
I plan on doing that to the BlackSwan, my OCD keeps telling me to get to work!

 

Would love to do that. ....nothing better than
mirror shine

 

Till you park in a grocery store lot and some non car interested person uses your hood as a shelve until they can open the rear hatch on their SUV and just slide the box across your hood! Ask me how I know!

 

Shiny...
