    This is a job I did for the fellow that bought my old STS. I am pleased how it came out for a 10 year old car! Here`s the process:

    clay

    106ff with white pad

    FP II with blue pad

    colonite 476

    I also wet sanded a few places that needed it with 2000 grit.

    The wheels were done with metal polish

    :xyxthumbs Looks good, but why did you wait until you sold it to detail it?

    I actually detail it for him once a year; he has had it 3 years now. The paint was perfect when I sold it to him. The car has over 140,000 km on it, which is not bad for a 10 year old car. I also do an oil change for him at the same time once a year using AMSOIL (the best oil there is, bar none!!). The wear and tear took its toll on the paint this time though!!:buffing:

    Super job on the entire car. I take it you`re north of the border since you used km`s. Did the wheels not have clear coat on them or has it been removed?
    Hoping the weather gets warmer again

    No clear coat. When I owned the car, i removed the paint from the "windows" in between the spokes to show the chrome underneath, with laquer thinners. The chrome was not quite as good a quality, but better than the ugly paint imo. those windows get dirty as can be though.

    Looks amazing! Just curious as to why you used FPII after 106FF? I just bought 106FF and want to make sure I am goin to use it correctly before proceeding. I was under the impression that 106FF has slightly less cut than FP but finishes better and glossier.



    Looks great regardless!
