Re: Ultimate Compound followed by Ultra Finishing 205.

Looking good. I'm sure you are fine applying second skin over M205. Let us know what kind of durability you get out of it. If I were to go a coating route I would probably go with either DP paint coating or pinnacle black label. They are easy to apply and looks like a nice product with a durability of about 18 months.

What are you going to use to dress the tires? Don't forget to clean the headlights. They are notorious for hazing up.

Car looks great but I can't stand those vent visors everyone gets that are just peal and stick to the paint. They actually make 2 versions and the other is where it actually tucks up into the door window frame for a clean look. Cost same but u have to order them rather than just buy off the shelduck.

I use Opti bond tire gel, you can see it in the 3rd post in this thread.

Those headlights where pure white. I pulled them and removed the rubber surround, sanded with 1000 and 1500 and then polished with Ultimate Compound. They are decent, but I may go over the again.

This little project will likely go until Wednesday or Thursday. Once I get the wheel off and done, the next 3 layers (UPP, HTW, HTW) all need a cure period that will take a few days overall.

There is the part of me that wants to stop here at the second skin 6 and see how it works over time with nothing else done to the car.
