Eh, I`ve probably given the wrong impression...I see something that`s imperfect and I make it sound all nasty.
It`s not like they`re really "ugly", either one could look swell (to non-Autopian eyes) at the highest concours level if I were into that (drives my Jag guy, who`s the club`s chief concours judge, nuts that I won`t show it). And they don`t really need to be perfected- when I die they`ll still be show-quality original, which is more important to me than "perfect"; the next owner can do what he likes. Anything can be restored if you have the $, but a car`s only original once. Heh heh, the Jag looked *awful* in the showroom when it was *new*, after a few idiot-level washes In some ways it actually looks better now.
Noting that Zymol`s HD Cleanse can (IIRC, and please correct me if I`m wrong) do a bit of concealing, I really dunno what Vintage would look like on them. I do know that on the Jag, I absolutely *HATE* how P21S looks but I *LOVE* Souveran; the difference is, to me, obvious. Guess the paint isn`t that bad if I can spot LSP differences right away.
