^i had chips on my stripes on my 2.2 that bugged the **** outta me. I just touch up painted a few spots on my TC a few weeks ago and was wondering whats the best way to level off the touch up paint and make it look good. Basically what i did was put a big heavy dot so its raised and then i thought maybe rubbing compound to flatten it out and make it look flush. Then just wax.

Heard wet sand but **** that im not wetsanding a brand new car.

I go every year just to walk around but last year there was quit a few tunner clubs there, I think that it would be bad ass to get some cobalts up there, its a thur-sun event. but not sure ids someone has said anything about this or not but we should.

I finally found a detailing place for mine $20 gets it washed, vacuumed, tires dressed, all my entire interior armor all'd and my carpets shampooed. $50 gets me all that plus claybarred/waxed.

Lets just say I know people :P
