Yeah, I tried to play around with the cracks, but I couldn't do much with them. The scratches seemed to come out pretty well, but honestly there are some that are kind of deep and I'm afraid of taking off all of the clear in order to get them out. I actually did that on a deep scratch on the passenger side quarter panel. It's not really noticeable, though, unless the light hits it at just the right angle. Sooner or later I'm going to get the car repainted, but I'm putting it off as long as I can. Thankfully I don't have to worry about rust on the body panels.

Maybe before I do that I'll try using the Langka paint chip correction kit using clear coat to see if I can fill in those deeper scratches. I played around with it and the Dr. Colorchip kit somewhat when I was trying my hand at wet sanding a while back and got some decent results with the zillions of small rock chips. So that might work on the scratches well enough.

Honestly, though, the trunk lid is a real mess. Not sure what happened, but SOMETHING happened while my car was at South Georgia Corvette. I know Aaron Scott has cats there and I've personally seen foot prints on several of the cars there, including mine. But it looked like about a zillion cats were wrestling on my trunk lid to get the quantity of small scratches that are still there. I actually quit with my wet sanding experiment in frustration when I got to the trunk lid.
