GoFast, how long have you had that car? Your sig pic looks like the NBM car that had a body kit and widen 10 spokes. Just made me think you might have bought it bc the sig pic looks like widen 10 spokes in the rear. Just wondering....either way the car looks great!

Are you asking about the Camaro? Because the TA is a customer's car. I've had the Camaro since 01. Yes it used to have the rksport bodykit on it. Still has the widened 10spokes. Thanks

Ok, since this has taken much longer than anticipated, I thought I'd throw up another pic. Finish line is within sight!

Car is 90% done now. Gave it back to the owner so he could get it lowered, tinted, a dent removed, and knock sensors replaced. Will have it back in a couple weeks to get the last 10% done.

doing a search would help answer your questions sooner than I'm able to do the writeup. It sounds like you were too aggressive and unskilled with a rotary. Do some reading up on proper buffing. It will still be a while before I'm ready to post up the write-up for this car outlining the steps.
