This car was a hoot to have in my possession for a few hours. A really good family friend wanted the car taken care of since back problems put him out of commission for cleaning his own cars.
Anywho, the first pictures of the car were taken via my camera phone (my rebel was out shooting other things at the time.)
Not too terribly bad right?
Wrong, this car was horrible!
(rebel pix past here)
Absolutely horrible!
Thats ok, i started with Meguiars So1o kit with a yellow wool pad and meguiars #86, it worked a little, but some scratches were laughing at me pretty bad. I moved up to the burgandy wool, worked better, but still some scratches around. While i wasnt able to get completely defect free (would require wet sanding) i think it came out really really good. I followed up the wool with a Meguiars yellow polishing pad and #86 and then finally went over it with 3m's Ultrafina.
And finally the end shots!
Surprising what can be accomplished in a weekend.
