It looks to be in good condition.




Here is what was hidden by dirt.


This was the only picture of the water etching i could find consistently get. The car was covered in traces of etching. From the pics below i am beginning to think the car was wet sanded to remove the etching. Many of the area's were super thin. So much so i did not want to compound heavily.


On to the claying.
This is the first pass of a 16x16 inch area on the roof. In all i clayed that same section 3 times. it was still pretty mediocre. The car had alot of pitch/sticky pollen tar. I ended up having to step up to a solvent to remove 95% of that goo.

This is a heavy duty clay. It is a bit more abrasive. This cemented the need to step up to solvent. This pass was my 3rd pass before the solvent was used.


well Here is my blue hand it is auditioning for the blue man group. This shows you how thin the paint has become in area's. for reference my car is 180+,
