The guys who run the A2 windtunnel say that filling small pits, dimples, waxing, taping seams etc does diddly. don't waste your time. Make it look like you want it to. That said, my car is in the paint shop getting a new "go faster" paint job. 
Your results may vary as always. 
Three weeks out -
Diddly is something I don't have a lot of time for. And actually, with the grill and chrome pieces finding their way back into place, it's looking the best it ever has.
Fordboy was telling me that the F1 guys spend hours applying polymers and polish looking for that .0001 shaving off of a lap time, but seeing as the girls in Tony's avatars aren't likely to show up with cheese cloth and a bottle of Zip-wax, I'm simply going to finish bolting it together, make sure it fires up, adjust the brakes and throw it on the trailer.
Now Mark, I know your tagline -
"Does paying attention to all the 'little details' matter?" I dunno, but I think you should ask the guy who finishes second . . . . ."If I can finish second to an F1 car, and the only thing I gave away was a pitted chrome and a wax job, I'll consider that success . . .

Ok, lemme see, If we consider that a F1 lap is somehow related to your Bonneville run ( a stretch I realize) the wax job getting you .0001 second off, that translates to about .0003mph. Since I think they are only printing out to 3 digits in the mph readout, won't do you a lot of good, unless of course, their clocks will average it up and you turn 121.7793 then that .0003 will get you 121.7796 rounded up to 121.780. voila!!, new record.
I'll come help polish for the record runs. Can I get in Maryland any of the various libations you guys seem so fond of? I'll bring some for you.
