    Its a polymer resin, doesn't take much.
    Honestly 10cc is all you need. I buy the 20 to do other peoples cars.
    Take off the wheels and do them inside out too.

    This is all done after decontaminating and polishing the paint. A couple of wipe downs with a paint prep(optimum paint prep/ Eraser, etc.) and away you go.
    Wipes on and it flashes, wipe down the high spots and done.

    Best thing I ever did.

    If my car were in better shape I would definitely do this. Unfortunately the Cleveland winters have been rough on the car the last 14 years.

    I think I do a decent job hiding the imperfections but the rust under is bad. The idiots at Firestone lifted it by the rockers after I told them not to. Needless to say they crushed both rear sides. I didn't notice until a week later so I really couldn't say anything.

    LOL. Salt kills these cars. My 04 was made in 2002 so it had a little extra time to rust.

    02? That's pretty early... Mine was May of 03, and it's still got some leftovers from the previous gen GPs

    I have a pre production Comp G. One of the first ones made of the newest gen.

    There is some great information here. Thanks Spazz and Guz. This should be moved to the detail section!!
