Thanks! I would guess it was 8-10 hours total.

Recently bought this car and, after sitting undriven outside for the better part of 18 months, it was in need of some serious TLC. Being a 19 year old car with 195k miles the paint is far from perfect and I certainly left room for improvement, but it'll do for what it is. Wash Clay M105 on LCC...

Thanks guys. I think it's safe to say the previous owner is not a member of this forum ;) I wouldn't call it done now, but it's certainly a better place to start from!

I recently bought this V70R. It was very cheap as a result of cosmetic issues, of which it has many. Hail damage, broken and missing trim, so on. Priority number one, though, was that poor interior! Pictures are a little lacking. My phone is broken and the only lens I have for my camera is a...

Probably not as long as I could have haha. I had about an hour in fighting road paint off the drivers side, then maybe another 1/2 hour in claying the rest.

Thanks! Yeah, apparently it looks dirty now a lot faster than it used to. I guess you'll have that when your car is shiny black instead of dull brown!

Many years overdue I finally got to tackle my friend Micah's Saab. Busy day! Wash/clay M105 on LCC Yellow M205 on LCC Orange M205 on LCC White Meg's Swirl Remover 2.0 on LCC White PB's Black Hole Collinite 845 Other odds and ends include Goo Gone, paint thinner, and acid wheel cleaner. It...

Thanks for the input. I'm impressed:

I recently acquired some 303 Fabric Guard for the first time, and slightly less recently a car to use it on. I have been planning on using it on my convertible top as part of its pre-winter storage protection (will be stored outside). That said, on the back of the bottle it pretty clearly says...

Thanks. I'm up in Bakersfield (15 miles east of St Albans)

Yup, kind of like what I did. Lifted the buffer off the paint on my (thankfully) old car, while I was lowering it I wasn't looking and it caught the unpainted door trim while still spinning. Ended up with four burn marks in it. That's when I started taping :laughing:

NICE job!

On my own cars, I almost never tape. Other peoples cars, tape. Burn my trim its annoying, burn someone elses... little different.

Thanks. :) Using a 9227C. Now that you mention it I do need to adjust the headlights. That's going to drive me nuts now!

Quick exterior detail, debadge, and a little painting. Wasn't really expecting much from the detail being white, but once I got started I was very surprised how much of a difference it made! I thought it was a slightly "off white", but nope!. Pretty much every major scratch the I had noticed...
