Yes to both questions . Mother's QD is great, just expensive...gotta love the cinnamon smell though.

And this will cure many problems with swirls and the like, just not that cheap:

Enjoy.

Nice..One more question. Are you familiar with wheel waxes? Would you recommend them? I've heard good things about it, but would like to hear your opinion. If you have used them, which would you recommend? Thanks mitch.

I used the Blackfire wax on my wheels and they don't pick up the brake dust as easily as they did before wax. This is the same wax I used on the paint of the car. The wheels have clear coat, so any wax should work.

Thanks for the tip. I just might have to take off my rims and wax them.

I must say, this guys knows his shi*. Mitch was nice enough to buff just my hood today with his PC, and let me tell you ladies and gentlemen, it looks like you could swim in the paint. What he did with one application, looked better than my 3. LOL. If I knew how to take good enough pictures to capture it, I would.

My car should be getting the full treatment shortly, in return for a wire tuck for Mitch. I can't wait, thanks Mitch.

Bill, it made my day to see you and your buddy gawk at that paint . It helps that I dealt with such an immaculate silver car, rather than the crap most of the silver evos on here display.

BTW, 6 hour update ont he shift knob: I LOVE IT! Matchs perfectly and allows for nice shifting.

I can't wait to finish your car buddy.
