Spent the day on a friends Saab 9000 Aero

[stig]

Many years overdue I finally got to tackle my friend Micah's Saab. Busy day!

Wash/clay
M105 on LCC Yellow
M205 on LCC Orange
M205 on LCC White
Meg's Swirl Remover 2.0 on LCC White
PB's Black Hole
Collinite 845

Other odds and ends include Goo Gone, paint thinner, and acid wheel cleaner.

It should be noted that this car is very much a work in progress. There are places that I didn't really spend much time, for instance the hood that's being replaced.

Before:

:shock: The pain...

Years old road paint... NOT fun. This is during.

After claying about three panels...

Everybody loves a 50/50 shot...

After! Look at that, reflections!

Wow great job... I need a friend like you .

Also the car was washed prior to claying right?...JK I am sure it was hope your friend upkeeps it.

Thanks!

Yeah, apparently it looks dirty now a lot faster than it used to. I guess you'll have that when your car is shiny black instead of dull brown!

Nice work man. It looks like a completely different car. How long did you spend claying that thing? That is the dirtiest clay I have ever seen. LOL.

Probably not as long as I could have haha. I had about an hour in fighting road paint off the drivers side, then maybe another 1/2 hour in claying the rest.
