My partner Josh (celicalover) and i did this one a couple of weeks ago.

Wow amazing work on the scratch!



Can`t believe the dealer would put an ad sticker on the paint :nervous:

real nice work. when applying the touch up paint, how long did you let it dry before you begun the sanding?

Looks really nice from what I can see.



What kind of durability are you seeing from the Opti-Seal?

[20jettatdi03]

just started using it a month ago, so no results on durability yet
