    Wanted to share pics of my first detail on my new to me GTP. The car was covered in swirls from the previous owner, so I broke out some Meguiars Ultimate Compound, Polish, and Wax with my DA. Pretty pleased with the results. Used a light polishing pad, thinking maybe I should have gone with a light cutting pad as there are some imperfections still.

    But a complete 180 from the way it looked when I bought it. Check it out:




    Love these reflections from the black paint:






    Going to get the windows tinted soon, and going to add some smoked LED tails when funds permit.

    Anybody have a recommendation to restore the weather stripping that has grayed around the windows?

    What do you all think?

    looks good, i know the feeling of going from old dull paint to almost new looking thanks to a buffer.
