    Oil change - $8.95 w/coupon,
    Seat belt recall - N/C
    Headlight replacement (DTRL) - N/C

    WINNER!

    BTW, the Service Rep. wondered how I knew about the replacement policy before the official notices were mailed. Thanks TW members!

    Not sure if you are looking for a suggestion with the cc. If so, maybe a bit more buffing? If you weren't looking for a suggestion, just stop after the first sentence. :proposetoast:

    So in all seriousness I have 3 cans of clear and prolly 3 days of sanding in between each coat. What am I doing wrong? This is my first painting/ body work type stuff. Mechanically I do all my work but when it comes to this stuff I'm a little handicapped lol

    That was my intention for posting pics. I really don't know what I am doing haha. I'll take any advice I can get at this point. I'm tired of sanding, applying clear, waiting... Repeat.

    I think you are super close to finishing the deal. I am no body guy. There may be someone here that has that experience.
    IMO, you may just be sanding a little too much. And then after a light, high grit sanding use a good rubbing compound after that and buff like a madman. The one tutorial i saw, the guy used Meg's ultimate. Shit came out super smooth.
    Hope that helps.
