So I've got a few rock chips here and there on my V36,

Recently purchased touch up from RHD Japan, and it looks good,

But on my first application to a tiny chip on my bonnet, as I am not too good with finesse, I applied slightly too much and ended up spreading it out

Realising it looks like a complete mess, I quickly try to wipe the excess off, leaving smudging and my only thought was to get the cut and polish compound from SuperCheap Auto,

So I got that as quickly as I could and wiped off all the excess and the touch up paint filled the small chip quite alright....problem was the dried paint seemed the scratch/scrape the top coat of paint

I tried to buff and polish it with the SCA cut and polish but it just minimised it, there are still swirls and light scratches, nothing deep, may have gone through the clear coat but as I can't seem to get a good picture on my Galaxy S4, it's not too bad (from far away it's not noticeable)

So any recommendations/advice on what I should do?

Professional detailing? Recommended products?

Thanks everyone

Mxfly - you're a detailer? I'm looking for one to give my V the gold class treatment on the exterior, mostly to be rid of rain spots which my six hour hand process can't manage. I don't trust myself with a buffing machine. :/

    • Ok I get you. But isn’t the butterfly intake a headache with the +T?  see this is my plan so far but please advise me into the right direction.  Nistune Ecu, 1000cc Bosch injectors, TD05 or TD06 Kinugawa turbo using stock rb25det exhuast manifold, walbro fuel pump unsure of model I think it’s 450/460, spitfire coils and sparks to suit and a R35 MAF sensor and boost sensor.    I was thinking maybe do a cheap eBay plenum $400-500 or try find a stock det neo intake. I think I’d port match it so it’s getting the full capacity but open to advice please.  Thanks 
    • The issue now is the 'fuel cut' while driving, and when it happend, it does not stall. This, I did not test the fuel pressure while driving as I cannot with a fuel pressure gauge. I do have Nistune logs, yes. I have also replaced the MAF Sensor.   Also related to the FPG Fuel Hanger – I just realized that I need a Deutsch Crimp Tool to crimp some cables for the FPG Fuel Hanger. Need to purchase additional cables as the kit only included 2, which are for the float. FPG has not responded to my emails so far since purchasing. I thought about taking it to someone and having it done professionally, but I am reluctant since everyone I took it to messed up in some way.  
    • There's a good German place in Brisbane if youre up for the drive 😛
    • The German place in Cabramatta was rock solid, fresh pretzel cooked to order back then. Then it went all quiet, after all the poker machines were removed, then I believe it closed for good. I did drive past the other week and noticed outdoor lighting a big screen, but no idea what is there now.  
    • Yeah I suspect even if you hold airmass per cycle/cylinder constant if you get too far away from stock you're still going to have problems running the factory tune within the bounds of the factory load scale. Cams, different displacement/rod ratio, etc. I'm just lucky that the GTIII-SS with wastegate boost + CA compliance cats is pretty much equivalent to stock turbos. When I have actual space I can finally get it tuned and modify the fuel system for flex fuel to 100% handle any detonation concerns when cranking the boost to whatever those dinky turbos can put out.
