This was my 6th full on exterior restoration. It seems everyons car that I know is in terrible shape! I cann`t wait to get a car that needs little work. It took me over 6 hours to get the paint new looking again. But the results are well worth it. I want to thank all of you for the great stuff I have and am continuing to learn.



Process;

Wash with NXT

Megs clay while washing

Mernenza Ip yellow pad speed 5 x2 in some areas

Mernenza FP White pad

AIO

SG

Wow! You really brought back some great gloss to this one! The color also looks so much deeper than before! :up

Thanks, their reply was a big thankyou, and that it did not look this good when we bought it!

Did you pull an all-nighter detail? ;)



That`s a great job you did there. Even with the before pics taken at night with a flash, I can still recognize a significant improvement in gloss, depth, and restoration of the color. I`m sure that red was pretty faded. And to add the fact that it`s a minivan to all that work, you get an A+ from me for bravery and a job well done :xyxthumbs .

I worked on it from about 9 to 1 friday and sat night. Maybe next time I might get paid. But I do not mind, I am still learning techniques and products.
