I finally have my car in a presentable state. It`s been a month in the works. There have been many passes with a PC using IP, FP, Wolfgang`s Polish Enhancer (PE), AIO and SSR1. There has been a bit of wetsanding, a rear window replacement and on and on.
Enjoy the pictures and tell me what you think. This is Emma wearing SSR1, PE, and Wolfgang`s Deep Gloss Sealant x2

Nice work. The metallic really pops. The rest of the car sparkles.

Looking great!
Three things.
1. I can`t even imagine buying a car off eBay.
2. Your first thoughts had to be @#$%^&
3. You have to be pretty happy about now.

Thanks, it not perfect but I`m getting there. I need to do some touch up paint but I`m too scared to do that right now. I also have a couple of scratches that need removal - one is very long on the hood but very faint. It`s so long though that I don`t want to use rubbing compound or anything that hazes on it. Maybe SSR2.5 will be the ticket there.
I got a deep discount off dealer price here in this area and it`s still under warranty until sept. otherwise I would not have bought it. The cosmetic condition though was far worse than I ever image. You should have seen the interior. None of those before shots were in focus - probably because I shaking with anger when I took them!!
I am pretty happy with it now.
