I think it looks great! I wish the front end on my TB looked that good. I've got so many rockchips.

well i used the clay bar to get rid of all the crap that was deep in the paint, It just didnt feel right, I tryed just using the Polish/cleaner and it helped but not like the clay bar did..

Then after the clay bar was done i wanted to hit it one time with the cleaner/polish.. Now its smoooth as glass.

If you think your car is clean and doesnt need to be clayed try this tip, Once the car is clean take a sandwhich bag place you hand in it and run it over the paint..you will be amazed everything you feel, Then clay it and try this again and feel the differnce.

Looks awesome Kevin! Now I just gotta do that full detail for you in about 1.5 months . Not much for me to improve except some small swirling, which is a hard thing for me to say since all evos have pertty much TRASHED paint!

Great job keeping her clean man!
