Yep. I did a full paint correction when I first got it. Then really pulled out the gloss with CQuartz UK. It's the DIY version of their pro version. You can grab it on Amazon. It really help give it the wet paint look. And make cleaning it really easy.

The Project6GR wheels are great! Perfect for my street tires!

Could you elaborate on your "paint correction" process? Do you have a thread on that?

My usual system was to just wax with blitz paste wax, but I' thinking there are more modern ways to go now.

I'll check out the CQuartz set up.

The short version:
*Wash wheels non-acidic wheel cleaner (I am currently using Nanoskin wheel cleaner - it's the purple stuff)
*Foam canon with chemical guys Mr. Pink
*Clay bar'd while still wet
*Compound/polish with Meguiars 105/205 (only did spot compounding to remove scratches and other problems. I did polish the whole car - my paint was excellent from the factory. My dad's grabber blue, on the other hand, was terrible)
*Removed polish residue with 50/50 running alcohol/distilled water mix
*Applied CQuartz UK
*Applied Meguiars Ultimate Wax
