What's up bud, nice work man your TL looks fantastic! So how did the buff project work out? I've been thinking thinking about doing the same on my 04 NBP, I recently did the clay bar treatment and did a full two wax coat and while my paint overall is relatively exceptional considering she's over 11 years old, there are some definite "trouble" areas. Specifically, the hood near the front where there is what looks like cracking. Im just wondering if buffing would help this out and if so is this project worth it or would you recommend a detailer shop?

lol kinda look better than the rpf1

I wish I hadn't, honestly...I think the heat from the compounding causes the paint under the clear coat to shrink.
I stick with just polymer waxing now to hide the major imperfections and I live with it. From 10 feet away it looks great.
yup the clear coat definitely shrink
