Very nice thread. Your car looks alot flatter. An additional alternative *could* be to go even further sanding down the surface and respray clear only over it. I know of a shop that recently did this to a black C5 and applied Ceramic clear and it came out beautiful. You'd still have to resand afterwards, but nothing heavy.
Brian - thanks for posting the link. The Mirka system looks very nice. The one pic of the remaining "pigtales" was very interesting. I was under the impression that the 3M system is more forgiving. I'm a big fan of final sanding as fine as possible.

thought about that, but this was a budget modification that I did. with a newborn, the money is a little tighter than in the past.

Well the 60hes was well spent the car looks great. When my babies were new I had more time than money also. Now they are older. I have plenty of time and the older daughters do well disposing of my disposable income.
Best of health to the wife and baby. I hope they are feeling better by now.
