It'll be interesting to see how well the polishing works. A couple of daylight shots (before and after) would be hellpfull as well.

update... got most of the stuff off today using PC and SSR 2.5 which left some hazing on the panel boundaries so will fix that on the weekend. That colorfill stuff is pretty durable. Even with SSR 2.5 most of the filled in chips stayed in the chips. I need to go over the small bits I couldn't get with PC with the remaining FTC and will do that this weekend.

Touchup123 customer support is excellent. Jon talked me through the problem and he is even going to send me some more FTC for free to help me out. He also said the FTC will take out the colorfill past the 2-3 cure time so no worries there.

I suggested he put a little video of the application/removal process on the site so it's more user friendly.

I will definately order again come spring and I'm fairly sure it will come out much better now that I understand how it works first hand.

For you guys who got your kits and haven't used it yet.... take the blue towel and just dab at the problem areas instead of applying like a wax. It will make the excess removal process a breeze.

Will do soon as I clean out the stuff on the panel edges... it currently looks a bit fugly =p

It will not be "perfect" but definately much better with way less effort (if done right) then anything else short of a repaint.
