I'm just about ready to do the same. I finally got a good porter cable and the Griots products. These pictures are nothing but inspiring! NBP looks amazing when it's perfect like that.

Klutch, beautiful pics-great job. If you don't mind me saying, I would highly suggest taking off the dealer license plate holder. Get yourself a nice ACURA TL license plate holder-just don't advertise your dealership for free-unless they're paying you to wear it!

I used all optimum products, with a PC polisher.
- Optimum Compound II
- Optimum Polish II
- Optimum Poli-Seal
- Optimum Final Polish

I bought this package, for those of you wanting to buy one. Use the code 'newbie' and i think its about 15% off.

Thanks for the suggestion, ive been wanting to get rid of the dealership one for a while, just been too lazy . On the other hand I just bought a new A-Spec badge (i dropped mines when i took it off and it got all screwed up) and im gonna put it in the bottom corner of the trunk where it belongs. I still gotta plasti-dip my grill also.

i dunno how you did it man. i spread my detail into 3 days (approx 5-7hrs a day) on mine. used Megs105 with Lake Country Orange Pads, and Megs205 with White pads (on only a few panels). i was only able to achieve about 50% correction. this was my first polishing job, and i have a lot more respect for you detailers now. this job is NOT easy.
