So here's the finished product.
The scratch is 100% gone!
Good reflection in a grey paint job.
So I have to say the Pinnacle products are amazing! The finish on the car after the waxing was like glass, felt and looked almost wet still. Even after raining twice at the show, a...

Not yet. It's going to be over the next week or so as I'm currently in my exam weeks, working a full time job, with a 20 month old son to take care of.
It's 100% stock except the lowering. It sits on 2004 STI struts. It's a 2008 Forester Sports XT which is the 10th anniversary edition. It came with Enkei STI wheels and STI front lip along with blacked out headlights and taillights.
So far, my assessment includes many paint chips, severely swirled spoiler and roof rails (from the wind), and what looks like some overspray/paint spill on the hood. I'm not sure how I'm gonna tackle the paint.
It's a 3.5" drop from stock BTW.
Thanks guys! Yea it gets a lot of looks just because it's different. This is my first almost "restoration" detail of a car before a show. I'm used to dealing with decent starting points.
So I have a pretty large east coast car show I'm getting ready for. This car was not taken care of very well by the previous owner so I have started prepping for the show a couple weeks in advance. I will be representing Autogeek so I have a lot of work to do.
