    Here is the write up I did last year when I corrected my car, just never posted it (I think) anwway………..so here it is.
    Some of you may remember the issues I was having with the clear, but this is what I ended up doing, took me about 15 hours to get this done for a car show, this car at the time had 19500 miles on it, and was in immaculate condition, so mostly was just a correction for the purpose of Cquartz.
    Wash:
    Dawn, Opt PC, and Chemical Guys Citrus Daily (stripped the LSP, MPL and P21s100% right off)
    Clay:
    Green Sonus and Chemical guys Luber
    Wheels:
    Dismounted for powder coating, then treated with Zaino Z2
    Tires:
    Chemical guys VRT
    Wheel wells:
    Pressure washed
    Undercarriage:
    Brand new Race Comp Tarmac 2 protected with MPL
    Glass:

    I sadly do not own this car, I sold it to get a larger vehicle, but I will be getting something in the new future…….

    Sorry, I do not have more “process pictures” I wish I had taken more.

    Your car looked great. How did your paint fair with rock chips? I know you sold it with really low miles...were you starting to see any issues with rock chips at that point? I see so many Subaru's with that being a real issue.

    Yeah, there were a few chips here and there, nothing major. I was really careful how close i was to other people when driving, especially on the freeway. Out of all the cars I have owned this is the one I miss the most.........

    Tenatively the second week of March. That is, if we can work out the details of the contract.
