i don't have any pics farther away right now. i'll snap something really quick tomorrow before work if you want, or you can just take a few step away from the monitor, it'll have the same effect.

i was thinking of doing the same thing to my 03 red cl-s. I was going to paint the chrome piece and the black plastic inside the grill also the black lines at the bottom, all in red . How much did it cost you?

my body shop did it for free, but if you were to do it probably around 100. just go to some bodyshops and get some estimates. :P

came out pretty good. everything you see in the pictures above has been painted.

i did it in garden grove, bodypros.

mine does not have haze. i would return the car and let the buff it out.

i'll post more pics.

haha thanks but hardly. those pics were taken several days after it had been painted, polished high because of 3M's compound. after that used carnuba wax instead of zaino, only because who knows wtf is in zaino. :P

will i return to zaino, not sure at the moment.

oh and to answer your question, i currently use meguire's carnuba wax spray. you just spray, wipe, let it haze, and wipe off. has alot of debris flying around when you wipe off though.
