Well the car hadnt been buffed since I bought it so decided to buff it this weekend. Didnt use anything special and I shouldve started out with a far more aggressive compound but it looks 100% better.

So heres some before and after. I also realize the pics arent that good or the best angles. So deal with it
before shots


After






Ive by far done better jobs. But for a quick job (only about 7 hours) this turned out pretty decent.

Next time around will use some 3m finesse it II compound along with a better buffer/pads.

Looks good! I have swirls like mad on my car from the previous owner and badly want them gone. Can you give me a break down of what you used?

Nice job, that looked silly to me at first with the TC rims with no front lip then saw the rear bumper
There's a SC in town that has no front lip on it but it looked a bit more natural because I never really saw it up close so I couldnt tell if they were 18 or 17s and it had the polished rims.

I just used a cheap 6 inch orbital buffer (walmart has some for like 20 bux) but i used a 4500 rpm one.

Meguires professional swirl remover
3m machine glaze (perfect it III)
Meguires deep crystal carnuba wax
3m professional show car liquid wax

I also used dish detergent to strip any old wax/residue off the car before buffing.

Not the best method honestly. But the paint feels great and looks much better. I will need to go back with a slightly more aggressive compound next time. But its honestly better looking than when it was when I bought it from a major dealership. So id say its delivery ready and then some.

I will at some point buy the lip and tc grill. But I honestly dont like the rear lip so theres no plans for it. Dont know how that will look on a SS/NA/Sport but we will find out. But the tc rims are a huge upgrade over the stock ss/na wheels

Thanks btw

Yeah i've heard some SC/TC guys saying they prefer the look of the 2.4L rear bumper over their bumper. I'm also a bigger fan of the 2.4 rear bumper over the SC/TC coupe bumper. Will look a lot slicker when you do get the front lip and TC grilles
