Here is what a good detailer can make your paint look like. Just food for thought. After I was done it looked like a completely new car.

very nice. That set up can normally get you around 70% correction. Which is great for a novice. If you ever need or want more cut, M105 is a much heavier cut compound. You can follow that up with M205 and that combo will cut into deeper scratches.

While having a 5.0 would be nice, i wanted a new convertible and a 5.0 vert was a bit out of my price range, so i went with the 3.7 V6... i am completely blown away by just how well the 3.7 performs with just a few mods!! Amazed just how much better the 3.7 is compared to the 4.0...

Dave McFly · 06-25-2014, 05:26 PM

yeah the 3.7 is a beast of an engine (the 4.0 is no slouch either it is a torquey SOB). but I drove a nice '12 coupe with the 3.7 and I was amazed how quick it was, bone stock mind you. I may have to consider a 3.7 car in the future.

Nice car a little TLC and she will look even better.
