My favorite pic, notice the focus is in the paint:



Products used:

Rupes LHR15ES polisher
Lake Country pads CCS and HT, mostly HT, love them
Menzerna compounds/polishes, FG400 and FF4000
Wolfgang DGPS
Collonite 845 wax
Sonax Premium Class wax

Many RIDS left in the paint and the back of the trunk wasn't done. Over all I am pleased. Tail lights and headlights need to be polished as well.

Interested in feedback from you guys!!!
 
Hey thanks, means a lot.

Nah, I took the hub caps off and threw them away, or something, :P Winter mode anyway, not too worried.

This is just the GFs car so it wasn't a serious job with trims and stuff being restored etc.

That looked like a pretty serious job to me... awesome job :dblthumb2: You made that red pop like crazy.

My girlfriend, at the time, now my wife had a 2 door one. We traded it in just in time because we barely made it to the dealership to get her a new car. That motor was toast... I believe the head gasket was screwed after the thermostat broke on it. She was so proud of the car though since it was her first one that she bought on her own.

I practiced a ton on that car and she loved it of course.
 
Hey guys, thanks a lot for the compliments! Makes me feel like I really did do something good, ha.
 
Haha, yeah I know. I should paint them and then maybe it would look a little better, even some Plasti-Dip goodness, ha.
