You'll get sun soon enough. Man I've gone a long ways with the paint today. Black paint is PITA but is so worth it.

So jealous. I have to settle for the crappy car wash for now. Still looks dirty afterwards.

Yeah, back in the day the TFS stuff was what all the cool kids had on their fox bodies. I had several of them with the twisted wedge heads, tfs intake and a Paxton on stroker motors.

I used Meguiars products. I started by washing the whole entire vehicle, dried it using a microfiber towel. I then clay bar-red it, that started making the paint shine. Then came the hard part...compound. You normally have to buff a black vehicle at 2-3 times to get the swirls out. It took 3-4 times for me. You also have to clean inbetween stages. So after I got all the swirls out I washed the whole entire vehicle again. Dried using a microfiber cloth. Then I used a paste wax from Megs. Gold Class. Really makes the paint shine. The paint feels and looks like glass now. Its soo nice and worth the time and effort.

Here's a pic of the products I used:
