thats true, but after i clayed it, and used some paste wax with a random orbit buffer, the scratches is DRAMATICALLY less, 90% of all swirls gone, i checked with a halogen light.......dont ruin my happy moment!

Looks great, nice work. Just be aware NXT has fillers, so keep using it to keep filling in the swirls.

Just wipe it down with some furniture polish...its an old hot rodders trick for when you show the car inside under lights...takes out all the fine scratches....

just do the blue painter's tape thing on your car before you hit the road...when you get there, just do some peeling and voila, a perfect finish.
