Another satisfied Formula 113 customer...
I think this is the greatest stuff ever. Although my paint is pretty much new, there were swirls in a couple places that were there when I got it back, I'm guessing from when they cut and polished the car or whatever. But formula 113 took those out, they're completely gone now. I put it on late last night, and it just seemed like the paint was deeper in the garage at night. In the daylight, it looks like the paint has even more metallic in it, and I can't look into it when the sun glares off of it

All I did was wax it with formula 113, then I went over it all after I was done with beadX. My paint is clean, since I got new paint last september it's been garage kept. Hasn't seen rain, it's only been washed twice, it hasn't really needed it. I washed it last week, got the formula 113 yesterday and waxed/polished(whatever, lol) last night. If your car is older and stuff, you should wash it, take the claybar to it, then wax/polish it.

What do you guys think my car needs/is missing anyway? I'm welcome to some suggestions cause I'm pretty much stuck. I'm thinking a new grille, but I dunno... the bowtie one, or the camaro one? And I've been thinking about lowering it, and all of my friends say no but one of them....

If I knew what I was doing, I'd do it. I'm not going to go and screw the paint up, and I don't have the money to have it done either.

looking at the first pic again, it looks to me that when they sprayed the clear on, it was to wet (not enough air) so it was like one big run, but looks normal because it all fell at the same rate and speed.
i would start with 1200 grit and see if it takes it out, then if it not enough, use 1000 then 1200 and that should take care of it. just be shure when you use a buffer, to use a high quallity rubbing compund (ie 3m ) and after that a good polishing compound, and that will get all of the paper scratches and swrill marks out and leave a nice slick finish.
good luck
thanks
