My paint on my 03 Cobra has been getting bad I always washed and waxed, but that was it. Recently I started reading/ watching videos on paint correction with a PC. I got one as a gift from my girl as well as a bunch of products and gave it a try pretty happy with the results. Sorry I only have a few pics I didn't think to take any and only had my iPhone I worked on just the exterior for about 24 hers total over 4 days with no garage. Not to mention it was pretty cold out in mass but it was worth it in the end.

Products used:
CG Citrus Wash
CG Clay Bar
CG V32 with a yellow pad on the two fenders real bad oxidization I have a before and after shot of this.
CG V34
CG V38
CG Backlight
CG Black Wax.

Before Pics of the fender



After:







 
Great turnaround, and for your first paint correction it sure shows your dedicated to your work ...keep up the good work
 
Wow, that before pic of the fender looks rough, very nice job correcting that mess.
 
Great job! No qualifications needed. First car or your 1000th.

Now keep it up. It looked pretty tired on the before shots.

What mods have you done to the Cobra?
 
Nice work!

I was thinking it was clear coat failure looking at the before pictures.
 
Awesome work for a first detail! I love the way Chemical Guys Black wax looks on a black car. I used it on the Shelby GT500 I detailed last week. If you want to see some more Black on black paint check it out, it's just a few threads below yours right now.
 
Nice work! Do you have any CG V7? Works great with Blacklight & Black...sweet ride!

Don't think about it if you don't...just buy a gallon and enjoy the awesomeness that is V7. Just don't drink it, I promise you it doesn't taste how it smells haha

Thanks and yes I do I just ran out of time idk how u guys find the time to do this stuff all the time I needed 4 days off from work just to do that. Then again I don't have a garage and it was pretty cold every day I was outside working here in MA.

To add to what you've stated , I too would like to say thanks to everyone here for all the informative step by step " How To's " , break downs and reviews of products saving money and time for many a folk I am sure of it . You guys take the mystery out of many of the procedures , making it so an novice can get stellar results . So, thanks from me as well ...
