'00 Grand Prix GTP

They're PNG files, sorry for the 56kers! I also do apologize if some came out darker than intended.

The GTP needed some loving after sitting around for about four weeks after a nice haul to Ohio. I just got my buffer this past Friday and broke it out yesterday and buffed for the first time, never again will I hand wax :P. Spent about 5 hours yesterday working on it, needed minor correction from a car cover, but overall it was a pretty quick and satisfying process. Probably about 10 hours dedicated to it (2 day duration).

Thanks again Dave(dsms) for the encouragement and suggestions, especially when it came to buffing!

Used:
Meguiars NXT GENERATION® Car wash
Meguiars Smooth Surface Clay Kit
Meguiars Ultimate Compound (Thank you car cover damage

)
Meguiars Deep Crystal System Polish
Meguiars NXT Generation Tech Wax 2.0

I dunno, though it looked cool.

Jetstream, not swirls :P

Car looks great! I used to have a couple GTPs, they're great cars!

Looks great!

Is that Dubob's old car?

Thanks guys

I really am happy with how it came out, especially being the first time I've used a buffer at all and really satisfied with the outcome.

I agree. I've always liked them.

I really like what has been done to this one. The wheels and hood really sets it off. Nice work

Thank you, everything that's on the car was done by the previous owner. He's got great taste in modifications. I used to own a Midnight Blue GT, but ended up replacing it with a truck as I have horses.

The GTP pretty much sits and looks nice, if you will, I drive it every now and then, but I don't trust other people to take it out and leave in a parking lot for long periods of times. Worried more about dings than anything else. That and I've never owned a black vehicle, I must say it can prove be rather trying/frustrating!

There are a few more plans for it in the future when I save up enough to spend, but the main objective was to get a handle on the minor damage caused by the cover, which was impossible to do via hand. Thankful for the buffer!
