If there is still any paint transferred on to your car after compounding it, try a little WD-40 with a magic eraser. It comes off with almost no effort.

Sorry guys forgot to post this sooner. Didn't do this today. So I'm behind, here's what we've got going on.......70k miles Albins gears 1-4 with synchros, EXEDY lightweight clutch and flywheel, stainless clutch line, K-Tuned shift knob installed. Valve cover powder coated red wrinkle, PWJDM washer kit, PWJDM dry carbon fiber coil cover, PWJDM theft proof oil cap, K-Tuned dipstick K&N filter installed. Drove 5 miles running like crap. After being down 2 weeks THAT was unacceptable......RE tune needed for flywheel upgrade. Stupid me. Hondata Flash Pro to the rescue.

Today I picked up drilled and slotted rotors with rear calipers and ordered TL-S brake kit from rsxretrofits.com. Gonna look great behind my white Volk TE37s! Was leaving to take calipers to powder coating UPS showed up with K-Tuned 3.5 Short Ram. MORE wrenching MORE tuning!

I think I posted in the wrong place. My bad
Please dont use a magic eraser because a magic eraser is a very very very fine grit sandpaper, wd 40 alone with a microfiber towel will work just fine.

According to articles, magic eraser is equivalent to 800 grit sandpaper. I wouldn't use one on paint as you'd have to do paint correction after that.

I've done the unthinkable. I like it, and don't start going on about only Evo's doing it!

As long as you don't put a bunch of pressure behind it, you'll just end up buffing it out the tiny scratches with the compound anyways. You do want to be careful not to take off your own paint and clear coat though. More of a time saving tip for next time rather than this time since I couldn't see any paint still on there in the after pic.
I've used that method on my own bumper and had no issues, especially since it is much less aggressive than sand paper once you lube it up with the WD-40. It saved me the hassle of buffing the same area 3 times to get white paint transfer off my black bumper.

I've never been a fan of chrome bolt-ons but I do like a touch of chrome when it looks OEM. One thing I've always felt the EX-L trim was lacking was some chrome door handles, so I picked up a cheap set on eBay for $10 to see if I even like how it looks. They're not super well cut when you look close, but they look great from afar IMO and I may just be on the lookout for a higher quality set.

Dipped my wheels. Felt like I needed some color.
