This guy was pretty cool, he said I know it`s bad so whatever it takes. He had just purchased it and the car only had 40K but it was left outside for a few years.

Since the car was so faded I decided to take my time and use my pc on this.



Wash and Clay

IP yellow foam PC @ 6

IP white foam PC @ 5

( Don`t ask why I did IP twice it just look better going over again with white foam before going to 106FF )

106FF Black foam PC @ 4-5

Two Layers of Trade Secret



Sorry about the quality of the pics old camera.

Exactly how much "time" did you take? That`s an incredible job for only using a pc! Great work!

Love the half and half shot of the hood:xyxthumbs I bet the owner was very pleased with your work and that his 40,000 mile car doesn`t look like it`s done 4x that anymore. Looks like the trim could use a little more love though(at least in the pictures)

Search for "white to red 928" best restoration i`ve ever seen.

Yeah that was amazing, and really shows how much improvement ss oxidized paint has the potential to make. This car, while definitely not as drastic, also had a great deal of oxidization and other problems to start with. I think it probably looks much better in person than it does on my computer screen.

Great work, I know the owner had to have been floored. Ah trade secret, I remember when I used to use that stuff all of the time. It had a great smell. :)
