Forgive me, I'm still in 'intensive care' after hearing of your drop. I'm woozy from the meds, forgot about the CF pics.......

 

That's why I only posted liked 2 side photos of my car. I didn't/don't want to hear it.

Nice pictures!

This is the only one that bugs me though...


Look at all of those swirl marks in the paint. If you were here in California I would fix that for you. It looks 10X better swirl mark free.

 

that's on an Evo, but the guy said they are direct fitment on '05+ tC's also. I saw the auction on eBay $89:

I think the very last pic is the actual tC one, it looks different than the one on the Evo

 

Yeah I know!

I forgot to tell the dealership to not give me a wash after my oil change. Now look what happened! I just had it professionally detailed last month, and been taking so much care. Oh well....

 

nice pics ilovemytC

 

thanx, I'll post new ones later when I fix my clear coat! I didn't even know it was that bad till I saw the pics!

 

how do you plan on fixing that? because I am starting to get that as well. And how do you prevent it?

 

There's any number of ways to fix swirl marks in the paint. Most people might say to cut and polish, which basically is wetsanding (in the end your already thin clearcoat gets thinner) and polishing the wetsand scuffs out. But this last week I attended an open garage night at the Meguiar's Garage in Irvine (yes, Meguiar's the care care company). The best method to removing really bad swirl marks without damaging the clearcoat is to:

1. Wash car
2. Follow up with claying the car.
3. Use a buffer (a dual action polisher is HIGHLY recommended, the Meguiar's G100 polisher will NOT burn through clearcoat or paint) and apply the Professional line product called "Speed Glaze". Make at least 2-3 passes on each section of the whole car (no bigger than shoulder length).

4. After you have applied and removed the Speed Glaze. Do the same with the Professional line product called "Dual Action Cleaner/Polish".

5. Apply a coat OR 2 of Meguiar's NXT Tech wax. It is very important to put a thin layer of this wax on. I have seen and heard many people claim that this wax is impossible to remove; it's not. Allow it time to haze up and do the swipe test (swipe your finger across the wax after 15 minutes and if it comes off easily, then proceed in removing it) remove, stand back and look at the difference.

Also, it's recommended that you tape off areas to prevent product spray when applying polish/wax.
