Good job! Did you use a clay bar on it?

yep clay bar and then used this polyresin stuff. I don't know if it is any better than wax but man that car is like glass. I had a thread a few weeks back asking if anyone had any ideas about trying to save this paint job. A couple owners back paid for the worst paint job ever--flakes flying off. I don't have the cash for a nice paint job so I was looking around to see if I could do something to buy me some time. We will see!

Also, have you noticed that your car looks an awful lot like the corvette in the upper left corner of this website? Not exactly, but pretty close.

I am trying Turtle Wax Ultra Wet and I think I like it. For the rims I haven't really found anything I like. I tried Mother's but way too much work, Never Dull didn't work and so I on my third trial of Eagle One Aluminum Wheel which is ok I guess.
