Why did you use rubbing compound on a 2 year old car? I've never used it on my car. I just keep wax on it constantly. Look for pics of my car. Its almost 4 years old with almost 60,000 highway miles on it.

Heres some pics....https://www.evolutionm.net/forums/sh...d.php?t=233538

My car was actually dirty that day.

either way. Stock paint is garbage. I know alot of people who have their paint chipping off and fading.

This posting is bumming me out because I have Rally Red. It does clear up a lot though about the ease of rock chips I get on my hood. And no, I don't take it racing. Stupid Mitsu paint jobs.
