Paint has glassy look and appears free of any sign of orange peel which is usually on the sides. Has it been paper cut and polished which is what it looks like, and if not what polish etc are you using.

Looks excellent.

The paint was in great shape when I bought it. All I did before these pics was apply a 100% Carnuba called Fat Bobs wax. Its locally made here in Oklahoma.

There are some areas that can be corrected, so I will be using Wolfgangs Total Swirl Remover, Finishing Glaze, Menzerna, and the Triple Gloss Synthetic Sealant...using Lakewood CCS medium and light cut pads. This should bring the paint to a whole new level of "Glass/smooth".

I use Griots Random Orbital buffer. I replaced the 6'' backplate to a 5'' so I could run a smaller pad. Gives me a little more friction/rotation

Thanks. I actually bought it with the suspension where it is and haven't dropped it any. I was wondering if the original owner cranked it down a hair. Seems like riding in a 4X4 compared to my vert.
