Keeping the thread alive. I'm going to a paint shop to have them tell me how much paint is left before I go any further. The car had to take a back burner this past summer due to other vehicular adventures. My 2010 resolution is to get the old girl looking as good as possible without a repaint...

1958 Mercedes Maroon paint original and getting thin. It got badly water spotted (should I upload photos for better advice?) and I'm not sure how to proceed. I read a little about using a vinegar spray to see if it would help. I've tried a couple of real fine polishs by hand to little effect...

Please, I haven't tried this on SuperGlue, but it worked great on baked in pine tree drippings. Berryman's B-12 Chemtool. It's meant for cleaning fuel injectors. I used it on the pine drippings and bam, they were gone. I also used it on the clearcoat of the car and did no real damage. Have a...

Help. If I buy the PC XP what pads would be recommended? What polishing compounds? Should I defer to a professional for this?

Ok, here's what I've tried so far. Megs clay bar, no real change although the paint is super smooth. After that Megs Swirl X.

I'm in Rhode Island. I'll upload some pics after I get home. I don't even know what the different color pads mean, but over the past few days I've started to learn a lot. I'm going to buy one of the Porter things regardless. I'll learn on my 20 year old Mazda and on my wife's little Suby. My...

I am a long time user of dishwashing liquid, a boar's hair brush, scrub it, dry it, wax it with the turtle. Yes, I should probably have a cell next to Madoff. I need to amend my ways since I have a very screwed up 1958 Mercedes 220S sedan, all original including the paint. No I never abused...
