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

What a difference! When I bought my current Supra a few years ago it came from El Paso. The paint was horrible, dull and clear coat pealed off in many areas. After claying and waxing, it turned out much better, but obviously the areas with peeling clear coat still looked bad. It's amazing what a good wax job will do.
