I just got her back from the detail shop. He did a high speed buff of the paint, said he used two different compounds to get the swirls out, then a coat of wax. Wish I had a buffer and the skills to do it myself, but I really didn't want to learn by burning through the paint.
He also removed the ugly gold pin stripe that was coming off and put on a nice silver one that matches the lower rockers. I think he worked on it about 5 or 6 hours, he didn't polish the chrome though, told him that is something easy for me to do.
Pictures were taken around dusk at the Parthenon in Nashville(yes its a to scale replica of the one in Athens). I got the car back late today, so pictures in the full sun will have to wait a while.
The paint looks amazing, its never had this much depth or clarity in the entire time I've owned the car. A lot of the "trash" in the clearcoat is simply gone:cool2:
Are you talking about those American flags like they have on the Presidential limo, the ones that go on the front fenders??? That would be cool, but I don't want to have to drill in the car.

I didn't take any interior shots that day, but here's an old picture of the front leather "sofa". This car has the D'Elegance package, which netted you those button tufted seats, D'Elegance badging, and a few other options I can't remember.

I can't believe no one said this yet, but I bet those wheels were a pain to clean!
