What did you do with/to your Boxster today?

Nice! Feel free to start a thread dedicated to this, if you get good results or figure something out worth educating us other Boxster owners about.

I touched up a few paint chips in my hood with the factory touch-up lacquer color coat only (not the clear). After thinking there were too many chips in the front bumper to do anything less than a full respray, somehow when the weather was nice and after the car was washed I found myself patiently dabbing touch-up paint into some for the millions of rock pips in the front bumper. I guess my initial thought was to just get the ones that stood out in color difference the most, and now "to even it out", I'll probably have to give it probably two more sessions of effort until I get the rest.

My plan to level the surface on the touched up paint chips, at least on the hood and on other areas where the reflections are more visible, is to use a carpro denim pad (https://www.amazon.com/CarPro-Denim-Orange-Peel-Removal/dp/B00B1E43YS) with meguiar's M100 polishing compound (https://www.amazon.com/Meguiars-Mirror-Glaze-Speed-Compound/dp/B00AIYU148/ref=sr_1_1?s=automotive&ie=UTF8&qid=1493775778&sr=1-1&keywords=Meguiars+m100).
