Using my new Flex PE14 Im using a combination of CGC-2 with a yellow lc pad followed by CG P40 polish with a blue lc pad and I finish with Menzerna 4500 and a black lc pad. All 5.5 pads btw

What about using Meguiar's #7? It would save some paint thickness.

Even with the oxidation, that is one beautiful Volvo.

It's one of the few Volvos that actually looks neat. Volvo had been in a box on wheels styling phase that lasted decades. Their styling has generally been so boring, you could count Volvos instead of counting sheep and fall asleep faster.

This car is cool enough for The Saint.

Are you familiar with Mike Phillip's article on using Meguiar's #7 on single stage paint? It adds oil and nutrients that feed the paint to give it back it's rich luster without needing to polish off that oxidized paint to make it shine. Don't amputate, rejuvanate.

Way to go landing that car! Looking forward to the pics and the process.

Cool cars... when I was back in Oregon, before digital cameras, I buffed out a couple of these SIV's for a guy that collected, restored and showed them...

If I remember correctly, the old TV show "The Saint", Roger Moore drove one of these...

Have fun....
