Your car does look incredible. What exactly is paint correcting?

I have the same wheels, and they are an absolute pain in the butt to clean. I recently had any curb rash removed, and the guys that did the job did the wheels on the GT that was unfortunately wrecked several months ago.

While I'm no expert, from what I've read paint correction is a multi-step process using varying degrees of polish, each less abrasive (starting with more aggressive) to restore and remove swirl marks and scratches.

The wheels like you mentioned are a real pain to keep clean. I'll be switching them out once the weather gets better.

Was that THE gt that was wrecked? Looks like it.
Personally, I got the orbital polishers from Griots Garage and their polish. I might add some pics from a simple polish and wax. You can do it yourself!
