The vehicle was in good shape, and was evidently kept in a garage (or shed).
Inspection after washing revealed no swirls or even RIDS, although it was clear that I, er, I mean "the owner" didn't have any kind of protection on the paint. No beading at all!
Products used:
Water
M205
BFWD
Megs "Restore Black"
303 Aerospace (for the "dashboard controls")
Coupla microfibers of suspect origin and history.
The vehicle was debadged of dubious stickers and information with mild heat from a heatgun. (i.e., did you know gas is flammable???). Operating cautions were left in place, however, in the case the operator was ever inclined to stick a hand under a running vehicle.
The paint exhibited some factory orange peel, and some coloring of the microfiber after a test spot (gives new meaning to "spot") indicated we had us some gen-u-ine single stage paint here. Decision was made by the, uh, owner, to forego attempting to correct the orange peel, and instead an overall application of Meg's 205 brought the shine up, after which BFWD was applied and removed, by hand.
Air was used to clean out the wheel wells, and the tires were treated with some odd leftover STP tire stuff of unknown origin.
Meg's Restore Black was used on the matte finish plastic.
The vehicle came out nicely, although I, er, that is, i mean the owner, apparently drove it before final pictures were taken, so some debris is evident in the photos.
I also have it on good authority the owner's wife thinks he's nuts. But he says it is a blast to drive, so I dunno who to believe on that one.
