Iowa is a pain with it's tint laws. That's the only place I had a problem with mine.

Looks good though. Can you tell a big difference after using the clay and LG?

At a glance with the clay no but when i was doing it you could feel a huge differnce. When you would hit a rough patch after rubbin for a few second it was smooth but with the LG it looks so much better then just wax. Im sure it would look alot better if i had a buffer to polish it after the clay bar, but im happy with it.

No i dont know what to do besides take it to a body shop and have them fix it. I have no body skill so i dont wanna try it. The car also has high miles so it me it doesnt seem worth it to fix. But thanks for the kind words about my bucket lol

Thanks! green is one of my favorite car colors besides black. But i think in iowa there is no way to get around the rust unless you keep your car in the garage year round but at night you dont even notice.

Thanks, its always good to get comments about your car besides my grandma has one. But on the rust part i dont see it getting fixed the cars got 192,xxx miles and things just keep breaking. once i get a stable job im going to be lookin at a 98+ SSEi i hope anyways.
