Well if anyone has been or lived in South Florida during the Summer, they know it's either raining, sunny and hot, or all of the above. Well where I was working, my car was uncovered and exposed to the hot sun all day long. Then it would rain, then the sun would come out with the car still wet (which is terrible for the paint, if you didn't know) LOL so basically, this is the end result. It was the longest my car has ever gone without any wax on it...about a month or so and the Florida weather really took advantage. p.s. the before pictures were after I washed and dried the car...there was no dust, dirt or residue on the car whatsoever.

well, I was very disappointed with the paint, and I didn't want it to get any worse so I took my buffer out, and went to town. Here are the after pictures!

looks good.. It looks like there is a little orange peel on the rear B-pillar (whos car doesn't have some there),
but the side shot of the door looks amazing.
BTW, what's the status on the Turbo build?

haha yea, there's a descent amount of light orange peel on the car, that's all the factory paint. I'm not going to risk wet sanding to reduce it, the paint looks beautiful, and the orange peel gives it character LOL

the turbo build is slowly but surely progressing. My boyfriend and I are almost done getting the daily running, so once that is done, then the turbo will get completed. The hot side just needs a day more of work and the cold side won't even take that to finish. I'm estimating it to just be a couple more months...just in time for winter!! :dances:
