Full Detail
Did a complete paint restore for the first time in the 5 plus years I've owned the car.
1. Wash
2. Black Fire Clay Bar and Black Fire Clay Lube.
3. Wash again
4. Polish with Porter Cable 7424 white cutting pad and 3M Finesse-It II Machine Polish
5. Polish again with Red polishing pad and Klasse ALL-IN-ONE Polish & Sealant
6. Seal paint with Klasse High Gloss Sealant Glaze
I'll let the sealer cure 24 hours and seal it again. Man this took all day over 7 hours and my back is killing me but the paint looks better than the day I dove it off the lot back in 1999. All the swirl marks are gone and it looks like glass. The clay bar really smooths the paint and the Porter Cable is the only way to go when polishing. If you haven't done a full paint restore I strongly suggest it. Not only will it insure your paint is top shape but the way it looks will blow you away.
Cheers
