A good friend contacted me in to see what I could do with his new to him Conquest. I checked it out and figured it would be some neglected single stage paint that has never been detailed before. I was right!

2BM with ONR

NanoSkin towel medium

Layer of #7 show car glaze with oil up the paint a bit then wiped off.

M205 on a CCS Orange cutting pad

Dodo Juice Supernatural topped off with some HD Express spray wax

This was ONE tough cookie. My polish wash sticking to the paint and I was having a heck of a time getting it off.

Could do much with the wheels he is going to get them refinished. So I shined them up a little.

Overall car came out amazing and my friend will be very happy with it.

2.0 Turbo RWD car. They are pretty interesting.
 
Impressive turn around. I wish all car designs from the 80's aged as well as this car.
 
Cassette Walkman...yeah...I had one of those. Did you have to remind me. LOL!!
 
Great work! Weathered single stage white is no joke!
 
It sure was a pain, getting my polish off was the worst part.
 
Nice job. That car must have spent it's entire life in Idaho. I had a 90 Daytona with that little turbo 4 banger in high school. It got me in a bit of trouble, and out of trouble, on more than one occasion.
 
Nice change.

There was a guy in my area a few years back with an omni and the 2l turbo hurting some feelings.
