SORRY GUYS.........
I got stuck up in New York an extra day, plus I had to get my front Hal shocks off the car tonight, so I can FedEx them to BSB Manufacturing for rebuilds by Thursday afternoon, so I can get them back FedEx by Saturday. I only have another car to use till Saturday, if I don't get this done I'll have to rent a damn car till I get this stuff back to put back in.
But look, I just took these, the car is on jacks in the driveway. I really did get a new paintjob with CETA............... lol
I also did the LED DRL's/Blinkers......way cool how they go bluish-white and back to Amber....and they're so bright too. They never even get warm like factory ones do.

48 SMT Tower (white-amber) (aw) 3157 $27.99 each
Little more than halfway down this page, in the middle. Nice thing about them, they let off no heat, so hopefully the moisture will never get in and the lens won't stay hot all the time and crack over time.

Two "EC 12" Flashers from NAPA Auto Parts $11.00 each
Took me 5 minutes to put the two flashers in and my body guy put my new DRL/blinker lenses on and LED's in while he was putting my front bumper back on (what a guy).
Pretty cool stuff though, looks very very NICE.

Yup, he wet sanded it, then buffed it the last 2 days he had it. He washed it the morning I picked it up. I asked him again how long I should wait because he first saud 45 days I think. But when I picked it up he said I could polish it right away if I wanted to, just NOT to use a wax on it.
I'm gonna wait 30 days, then put a polish of some type on it. He said he did 2 coats of clear.

They are a little bit pricey, but hey, you just got new paint, let's not skimp on the products now.
Before you put on your sealant, I would claybar the car with mild clay, there shouldn't be too many contaminants, but, you can never be too safe.
Your paint looks awesome, BTW.

This is good stuff and what I'd use on it as soon as I got the car back. What we use after we paint one.

Cool - well my recommendations for you, living in FL with tons of rain, would be a synthetic sealant rather than a wax.
