Here is a little show of my dad's 1970 Corvette that I did last week. I only had the time to work on the paint, and it actually wasn't even washed, so the rest of the car still needs a little tlc to get it to proper standards.
I only had four hours to spend that day, so I concentrated on the hood and trunk area with Menzerna SIP on an LC orange low profile pad. Then I did the entire car with Micro Polish on a white LC pad. I'll go back to finish the sides more, but it looks 100% better. I finished it up with XMT Glaze and then a coat of Nattys Blue.
The paint really was pretty easy to work with. I thought it might be single stage, but it was a clear coat finish. It looked pretty bad up close, but didn't take too much effort to get rid of the swirls. It still has quite a bit of random scratches, but considering my dad won't be ocd about caring for it, it wouldn't be worth going that far anyway.
Half n' half on the trunk after SIP
And the afters. The pics aren't the best since it was pretty late and not much sun left.
