OCKlasse Detailed: SAAB 9³ Paint Restoration (49 Pics)

This was my project from Monday. The customer purchased the car used and was looking to have it brought back to "new" standards. It was apparent that this car had never been garaged, and was in fact severely neglected. Both the front and rear bumpers had severe oxidation, and the beginnings of clearcoat failure was rampant on the hood. This car required a lot of wetsanding including a large portion of the hood.

The process throughout the entire car was:

PO203S via PFW (x2) (The hood required many more passes)
106ff and a finishing pad

I tried using 105, but it just wasn't working the way I wanted it to.

I finished the car around 9 PM, so please excuse the lack of adequate afters.

Total time: 14 hours

Wash:

Karcher pressure washer
Camspray foam cannon
Chemical Guys Citrus Wash Clear
Chemical Guys Grime Reaper
P21S wheel gel
Swissvax wheel and detail brushes
Boar's Hair Brush
Home Depot grout sponges

Uber microfibers

Engine Detail:

Finish Kare #108

Exterior cleaning and correction:

Menzerna PO203S
Lake Country purple foamed wool
Detailers Domain blue finishing pad
Flex XC-3401 DA
Isopropyl alcohol between each pass
Danase Wet Glaze
Finish Kare #1000P
Finish Kare FX-100
Finish Kare #108
Meguiars mag and aluminum polish
Brinkmann light

What happened to your pictures? Do you have any interior shots after using FK108?
