yea, i originaly wanted a SOM or pewter f-body. but now that i ended up with NBM im glad i did. your right, every little scratch jumps out. but the wax helps to cover most of them up. i can wash mine and it will look dirty just a couple of hours later, the dust really stands out.

Very nice.

Looks like your headlight lenses are a bit cloudy though. They aren't to hard to clean up. Do a search on polishing headlights. I just did my girlfriends this weekend.

yeah they are really bad, i've tried to polish them already, i think they are beyond repair though. I was thinking about taking some sandpaper to them and then some plastic polish and put a coat of clearcoat on them just as a last ditch effort. I've got my eye on the Halo headlights though with the black background in them.

i cant say for sure but i would think that the scratches would have to be buffed out of the clearcoat first, im no expert though.
