easy... I would of done it by machine like all my other wax applications
 
I can imagine the TLC needed to work on such old paint. The outcome is A1.
I would also like to know more about your problems working with the Souveran paste. Congrats on a job well done.

no problems with Souveran itself, just hate applying by hand
 
Dust2Glory that is an outstanding turnaround. I love this car! You brought some life back to it! The shine is outstanding!!!! The chrome is fantastic and there was a lot of it! The wheels look awesome! Interior looks great! Thanks for sharing!
How long did it take?
 
Can't really say the grout sponge is fminus idea. Spoiledman got everyone into it.
 
Amazingly done. You've read that paint well by going just KAIO and Souveran. Good call!
 
:iagree: with Gary she is car show ready....Super work....
 
That is one sweet car! You did it justice, nice job.
 
That car looked like crap til you worked your magic on it.
