    Friend just imported it for track purposes.

    As with all imports, it was a mess. Fresh off the boat and I had to deal with it.









    Dirrrty (and ugly).







    I was told "most of the paint`s ok, just on the spoiler it`s a bit iffy".

    Once I saw it I knew my weekend was gone. Badly oxidised and no depth or clarity.







    "iffy" = CC failure.







    Not much better here.







    Washed and clayed. Into the garage to get started ...







    OHC on Green Edge pad w/ Rotary followed with OP on White Edge pad w/ Rotary

    Menzerna PO73CP w/ Rotex







    Another shot.







    One more in the garage.







    Sun!







    Final shot. Hood in the sun. LSP was Optimum Car Wax.



    EO wheel/tyre cleaner on wheels/tyres/wells

    Mothers FX spray wax on wheels

    Optimum Tyre Shine on tyres

    Simple Green and 303 on interior trim
