    1973 Lotus Europa oxidized original paint

    Hey Mike and Wilisports3, Thank you for all your help. I am so tickled with the results. A friend who helped me before, when the car was just a body shell, saw it today and couldn't believe the paint was brought back to life. Like I said in my very first post, Meguiar's help desk didn't...

    Wow Mike, that is great. The paste wax I started to use on the hood , SC Johnson Paste Wax, didn't enhance the shine of the #7 but it didn't dull it down either. It still looks wet or oily. Also, the SC Johnson wax doesn't smell very good and I don't believe it was has any Carnauba, at least...

    Today I drove my Lotus to show the gentleman who rebuilt my engine my car. He has only seen the engine so far. He thought the body looked pretty good and this was without wax. He is restoring an MG TF for himself. In the shop where he is working, next to his engine shop, is a Lamborghini...

    The foam applicator by hand really helped. It is not perfect by a longshot buy then again, neither is the body. I still used terry cloth to remove the #7 as the microfiber cloth didn't help at all.

    Hi Mike, I have followed your advice with the #7 Show Car Glaze. Three applications. I tried Meguiar's 105 and it dulled down the shine. Then I tried Meguiar's Ultimate Polish on the hood and at first it looked good. The next day it looked dull so I went over it again with #7 and got my...
