Very Cool. Looks truly amazing. Great job.

Hey Speedriven, you're local to me. Can you recommend a detail shop? The one near me I just can't trust. (Sorry to hijack from the OP)

first step was claybar , that remove some of the black rubber and leaves me a better view of the damage area.
on the door i use mezerna sip and green LC light cutting pad follow by polish pad and 205 used with flex da.
by the vents on 1/4 panel i use meg 105 and red cutting pad follow by the above steps.
the damage area is not fully corrected , it may need light touch up, in certain light and angle it may be visible what ever was too deep to be removed by compound.
