Nice man. Feels good to know you paid for something that you really really wanted and got it perfectly.
Love the nav and the stealth climate control too

Thanks guys. I'm definately really happy with how it turned out.
Yes, it is original paint. I have about 9 hours into correcting the paint, it didn't look like it had many proper washes and it had some hard water spots from sitting outside on RBM's lot for months.

no i dont always dry it...i usually take it car wash places cuz i live at an apt and dont have a hose etc...i use a new microfiber towel every time i wash my hood and front bumper (newly painted) and then the spot free rinse. It usually does fine when it comes to spots but most of the spots i get are from rain and moisture in the air etc

Then you should be able to get the paint corrected and it should stay looking good for a while (although you probably should stop using the brushes and stuff and car washes). If you only have one car, it may not be worth it for you to spend money buying a good buffer and products and rather find a good reputable detailer (I believe autopia has a list of pros) that can fix the paint for you.

oh ya i know...i only use the brush on the parts of my car that arent newly painted...but had the car at the dealership and forgot they "detail" the car after work and they put scratches all in my hood and bumper...real depressing to say the least.
