Before KOTM I went over the car with touch-up paint and Langka leveling compound and was reminded how painful of a process that is. The entire car had bad swirling, so I ended up using Meguiar's 105 compound followed by 210, because it's what I had. I'm pretty happy with how it turned out but it didn't level the chips as much as I would have liked. I need to try some of this ClearCut stuff.

Pic from Motor Trend... not the greatest resolution, but not horrible
No Perry pics yet? Looking forward to those.
