I bought some 3M Hand Glaze, and this product is amazing. My hood was completely oxidized, looking white in some areas. I spent about 30 man hours on my car with 2 bottles of this stuff. I then waxed, and my paint looked close to brand new! It really brought back the luster, the color, and the shine. Try some of this where it is really oxidized, and see how you like it. For more aggressive applications, use 3M Rubbing Compound.

After I handlgazed my hood (numerous times!), my rag was a dull red color, and I was pulling up all the dead, faded paint. If I were you, I would try that, then send the Evo II front in for painting (maybe your rear wing if it is cracking?), and touch up your rock chips.

I am fed up with my small dents and paint chips, not to mention the oxidized roof and deck lid. I need to attack this is 2 steps, first the existing chips and dings, then the faided paint. I need to have my front evo 2 spoiler re-painted, and also my passenger fender. What am I looking at from a standard perspective? I will uninstall both the fender and the lip and deliver them to the paint shop. Any ideas? Thanks fellow M'ers..
