High grit wetsand sir...it fixes everything! If I can make 30 year old gelcoat on a boat look brand new you can make 2 day old clear coat look good. If it's ruining the finish your coats are too thick.

Allright thanks do I need to do any polashing after doing the wet sand or just dry off and apply another clearcoat?

Not sure what the best thing to use is...personally I used a buffing compound from my dads work (finishing), and a microfiber cloth

:banana: Whoot Whoot ordering my new rims this coming week :banana:

HOWEVER, I would like some help on picking out some rims I like all of these but can't decide which one I want, some help would really be appreciated as I have about a week to decide.

1. MB wheels five x

2. MB wheels seven x

3. Enkei J10's

The enkei j10's where my original choice but the company I am getting them from no longer stocks them in black, it is very possible that whatever rims I do get when I have my car painted at the first of the year that the rims also will get painted. So let me know what you think.

Top ones will look best with some meaty tires (like you said you wanted). All look to be high offset so your rubbing issues should somewhat go away.

Did you ever get the headlights finished up? I wanted to see them on. They might (or might not) have looked better in the body color, but I'm not sure if that comes in a rattle can or how ricer I'm sure that would have been.

And somehow or another I've totally missed all of this thread. I remember seeing the first page before then today just stumbled onto page six. Looks good so far.
