I think it looks very good... and for a price comparison... the body shop wants $280 to re-do my dad'* car after it got keyed.

Looks like damage to the clear coat, not the paint.
Get it in the body shop soon, probably save you a full paint job down the road.

here'* my recommendation: sign up for meguiarsonline.com

show mike phillips or other professionals pictures of what you think needs work/could be changed.

most likely they will recommend some professional line products, and minus the step of dawn (but thats too late now)


dawn isn't really need except for very picky stuff like zaino, the claybar and cleaner you used took off any wax you had on ur car anyways.

I think it looks good...and I doubt any product can create perfect results.

Question though: I thought the claybar was mostly to be used on you lower panels, especially in overspray areas? Granted this could be a good thing for the entire car, wouldn't the most results be seen on areas of the car where dirt is more likely to be stuck?

you will probably notice the biggest difference with a claybar on the lower rocker panels......but you also be suprised of all the airborne contaminants that it removes from the hood, roof, trunk, doors, etc.........

clay bar = necessity
