Just posted this up on the Meguiars Forum...I'm so happy with the results!

You can see the condition of the car previously here:

So I went down to Pepboys, bought some Scratch X, DC#2, DC#3, and a glass of Diet Coke.

Washed it, clayed it with consumer grade clay, used DC#2 all over, then on the doors that were messed up I REALLY worked some Scratch X and more DC#2 into them. Waxed it with DC#3 and toss some Hot Tire Shine on the tires. While it still isn't as reflective as the passanger side, it sure as hell isn't ugly and matches the other panels now! Done by hand.

Yupo! All my hand. I plan on getting a Meguiars G100 (lifetime warrenty FTW concidering how much I will use it!). I can not wait to see the results then this 17 year old paint! Concidering this car has been outside its whole life, I think Nissan did a damn good job on this paint!
