I've spent a lot of time doing what I reasonably can to restore the paint on my 2012 Altima, and it's been a really fun journey, and it's been real cool to find a forum like the one here at autogeek that's as active as it is.
I'd say I "wasted" a lot of money trying to figure out what works and doesn't for my car, and what I enjoy using, but once I found what d work, it was totally worth it (especially now that I know to keep on hand.)
After my thread about the micro marring I told myself I'd post a picture up once I felt like I'd thoroughly gone over all the surfaces to the best of my abilities, and since I recently got some 3" mf cutting pads, and 3" LC hydro tech polishing pads, I've finally gotten to the that point where I've done about as much as I reasonably can to my paint. The last project is a dr colorchip order to sort out rock chips on my hood, some random knicks along the body, and see what I can salvage of my rather trashed front bumper. But until that happens here's what it looks like!

Nothing fancy, not a show car, there's still some RIDs around (not many!) but I'm pretty content with how it looks. It's not the best picture, had some clouds that day, but the sun was gonna disappear soon so I just took what I could get.
Products used: D300 and Ultimate Compound, Pinnacle Ultra Finishing Polish, Britemax Vantage paste wax
Thanks again everyone!
