Paint Correction, Ceramic Coating and Emblem Restoration

I've had enough of my emblems being in the wrong location since I bought the car.. the car was repainted by the previous owner, they did a pretty good job, a few little masking issues that I took care of.

I took the emblems off, sent them to Third Gen Ranch and had them "restored". Didn't love it, so I stripped their clear, polished them more and cleared them on my own.

Compounded and polished the car, followed by the cheap Amazon Ceramic, AutoKCan.. I couldn't be more happy with the results..










My goal was to have one of the cleanest third gens in the midwest.. I think I at least got close, I'm thrilled with the results!

The ceramic coating is the best I have ever used. Nice shine!
