They do state that if used with a Vararam OTR, it is absolutely vital that your tune is updated to reflect this, as the MAF is brought closer to the throttle body, otherwise no gains are to be had and you may have possible negative effects to idle and tip in quality. But yeah, they are a hard sell. Not only because of the HP/TQ gains claimed, but because it is $100 for a piece of printed plastic. But when offered for free? You bet I would try one. Sucks they didn't send you one.

How much for paint correction? I just did polish job on on my CTS-V. It was my first time, and I'm certainly no professional. With me being the second owner, I inherited the lack of TLC provided by the first owner. Too many drive through car washes. It came out really nice though. Lots of clear coat scratches and swirl marks removed. I figure I spent about 12 hours doing it over a couple weeks.

I had 2 step paint correction with polish and it was $900. It was a lot of money, but I am very pleased with how it turned out!

If I knew then what I know now, I wouldn't have hesitated to add the wedge to an intake order. Jason told me that most Vararam installs net ~10HP. At >$300 for a cai, and most of them net 10HP, nearly doubling that is certainly worth the (now)$69 for the wedge. The Power Wedge is not printed plastic, or a spacer: http://www.vararam.com/power-wedge.html I was happy to see the gains the combo made on my Camaro. While I don't see big gains starting at 2500RPM, there is no loss or delayed response. In fact, throttle response is very much improved. I scaled the dyno print to estimate the gains across the power band:

It don’t come easy.

So after seeing Ajarman’s showroom finish...what does a guy do on a rainy Friday and a vacation day? ...you clay the car. Not a paint correction by any means but, a nice result, none the less. The trunk and hood vinyl stripes cleaned up well too, with the clay. Tried a small spot to start and felt confident it wouldn’t be detrimental. When the sun gets back out, I’ll throw up a few pics.
Here’s a few pics. Hard to get the kind of lighting you want for reflections outdoors but, you get the general idea.

I’m happy with the results as a first time clay user. Never thought about the glass. Good idea!

This past week, I've clayed my car 5 times top to bottom including all the glass, rear spoiler and even the wrap on the hood. I'll be polishing it tomorrow to finish it off.
