I worked on the paintjob today. One project was simple polishing. I used polishing compound and a cheap orbital polisher. It pulled the pink out of the color and made it more red. The second project was to use a product to make the rock chips less notable. The first picture is of the untouched car on the left and the worked on part on the right. The pictures below are before and after.
Dr Colorchip is a kind of touch up paint that stretches a paintjob's life. It doesn't take a paintjob back to new, but makes it so you can't see the white stars of chips in the paint from five or ten feet. If you get within inches, you can still see the chips. It's totally worth the $50. It works just like it looks on the video, though maybe I got good results because I'm working with a solid color. Checkout the site.

It's a little too good to be true. Great results that day, but eventually wears or washes off over months and years. I guess it's a good scam when it's time to sell...
