Suggestions for my 03 Mustang GT?

These are some pictures of it. The car really doesnt seem to have a bunch of swirls all over the place, I just wish the Metallic would pop a little more. I already get complements on the car at least 2 or 3 times a week.

I would love to make the factory exhaust tips look better but I think that might be the nature of the beast. I will be ordering Stainless exhaust soon but until then this car just has fugly tips...

ADVISE on product and recommendations? I completely stopped detailing cars when I went through a divorce as other things took priority so my mind is WAY out of the game. Seems like a ton of new products have hit the market in the last 12-18 months and honestly I am clueless!!!

My headlights are flaking at the corners...that bugs me!

My favorite LSP for my silver Audi is Werkstat Acrylic. Prep makes all the difference, though. I am assuming you're just asking about LSP, since you mention flake pop.

I am asking for any helpful tips in detailing and product and pads!!!

I would try a glaze on it to see if that adds some more pop. I know Menzerna makes a nice finishing glaze.

First of all that Stang looks nice and clean (style). As far as swrils, you really need a machine. If you insist on doing it by hand, Meg's Ultimate Compound works great. As far as flake pop goes, Max wax or Liquid Souveran will make those flakes pop on white.

Get a da kit. There's a lot of good kits out there. As far as polishes goes, Menzerna and Meg's 105/205 are the hot polishes.

The car really does not look reflective or shiny. It is definitely lacking gloss. I like the mach one chin spolier on silver. Looks great.

Off topic, if you are into modding the car, TrickFlow is coming out with a set of 2v heads. With long tubes and 278's(cams), and their heads, the car put down 355rwhp. Great numbers for a 2v. I am going to be ordering a set nearer to Christmas.
