I did them both a year ago using the Meguiars Plastic Polish, this was the first time I used the Cut 1.0 and it does a way better job!

Oh damn that ARC one is so nice, I have a Greddy one that I had repainted at the base to match my repainted engine cover. I got a great deal on it a few years ago, very quality piece :tup:

yah, i use ScratchX whenever i get wax residue build up on my lenses. ive not had any hazing or clouding on either of my Fit (parked outdoors 24/7) nor my G (parked indoors). :confused:

:tup: @ greddy strut bar. looks good.

Finally got a chance to work on the Panda last two days and put in some work

First up I removed the rear bumper and painted the rear diffuser section with black Plasti-dip and followed it up with their Glossifier which acts like a clear coat and makes the surface look like gloss black paint instead of a flat black Plasti-dip

Stock bumper removed

First coats of Plasti-Dip applied

Glossifier applied and now it has the shiny appearance

Installed pics after it dried

Second thing I did was finally install my leather Clazzios

Initial impression: seats are night and day in terms of comfort. Stock seats felt like the material was too thin and the cloth felt cheap, these really give the car a more luxury feel and have a factory/OEM like appearance to me. Definitely worth the investment!

Looking good Waizz. You should take it to the meet. You did not have to do any 2500/3500 grit sanding for you headlights?

looks good waizzz :tup:

huh, that rear diffuser-look looks good. :D i might paint mine too down the road if i have time.
i'll probably use the kav paint code.

Thanks Rafael, I might bring it to the next meet.

I didn't have to use any sandpaper since that compound already has a cutting agent in it :tup:

Thanks Ken, the way I sprayed it you can't tell it's PD which is what I was going for. I am so glad I had that diffuset painted, really ties together my whole look :tup:

yah, i was thinking about painting the bottom center part of my '12 front bumper, so this rear diffuser look would really tighten things up for consistency. :tup:
