SO when i got this car it was u-g-l-y as far as paint goes. I didnt think any type of buffing would help this mess but, I finally had some time to try to see if i could make a difference with some hard-core buffing etc, with an electric buffer and 1,200,009 bottles of cleaner, wax, and polish I spent the most time on the hood I was really REALLY shocked with the out come, and you will be too , especially if you are a member that was at the so cal meet and saw this thing in person. I am pleased biggrin.gif this will hold me over until I get my body work and custom paint soon
On the way from Arizona

Yea, I plan to do another run before the next meet, gotta look my best smile.gif I used a 3 step product *not sure of the brand it was in a burgundy bottle, 1st step was "wax cleaner", 2nd step was "polish" , 3rd step was "wax" I plan to do another full run of wax because I don't want to strip away all my hard work until it dulls out again, which it will over time
