    I did a two stage machine compound and polish on my first gen paint and was shocked with the results. I used Adam’s polishes foam pads and polish. This paint has around 110k miles and doesn’t appear to have been machine polished before. Sealed it off with Gtechniq ceramic coating and an additional top coat for water spots. Boy does it look good!

    WOW! That paint is probably higher quality than what's on today's vehicles. Nice work!

    I have an 04 with the Lunar mist and it's held up incredibly well for 20 years. The hood and roof clear coat are peeling now, and im planning on repspraying it myself but the rest of the body still shines. I think the first gens had higher quality or more coats on them or something!
