I just finished up on the baby. I still need to tackle trying to improve the trim, but that could take all summer, so here she is after the bulk of it is done. The car was in good shape, never polished by me anyway. When looking at the paint under the halogens, it was actually quite bad. So over the course of a week or so I hit the car with SIP on the low profile orange pad that came with the polish. Then I followed up with Micro Polish on an LC white pad. The lsp was XMT finishing glaze followed by a coat of Nattys Blue. I was rushing a bit getting her done, so it's not where I want it, but I got a good 80% of it. I had a show today, and there were just a hint of very light cobwebbing here and there, as well as some scratches, mainly in spots by the trim where I couldn't get great coverage with the pad. I also used 303 on the interior, and I was very happy with how it turned out. In the past I just used a towel with water, and it didn't do much, but the 303 really cleaned it up and gave the interior a nice dark shine.
These two show what I was up against:
Not other befores since they really wouldn't show much. A few were in the afternoon, and then I took some more later in the evening since the afternoon shots turned out looking a bit orange.
