Wife sees my car, gets jealous and wants hers all shiny also. I still haven't taken the buffer back to my old man so I figured why not. It needs it anyways. TONS of little chips and specs where the paint had gotten nibbled away by dirt and small rocks and such. Hood and roof were oxidized pretty bad too.

Here they come. And might I say MAN ALIVE this car is "put on some sunglasses to look at" red. Out in the sunlight, it was giving my camera all sorts of fits trying to not glare. It doesn't look like much in the shade but on the sides that the sunlight was hitting it, the paint just illuminates and glows like I've never seen it do before. :banana2:

I used griot's garage claybar with meguiar's speed shine then their machine polish 1, 2 and 3 and their best of show wax using their orbital buffer.

They used to have this EXE file you could download that was essntially an enormous Ebook. If you can locate it on their site, I'd get that.
