    I will state from the outset that this was not really a correction, just a good opportunity to do a good deed for another by cleaning up a car and playing with some products.

    </SPAN>

    I don’t have a lot of pics for this as it was never my intention to post it, however by the end I felt I had to share.</SPAN>



    Besides it shows how well HD Speed works :thumb:

    </SPAN>

    I have been meaning to do something with this car for a little while now and like most time just seems to get away from me. One of my neighbours is a lovely elderly couple that have had a bad run with health issues for a while now. They often comment on how good my car looks and how they wish they were still able to look after their own. </SPAN>



    And being that it is the season of giving I decided to do a little giving of my own.</SPAN>



    On the rouse of borrowing their car, I took the keys and the car at got to work. </SPAN>

    This was also a good opportunity to get my kids involved as well.</SPAN>



    Products.</SPAN>

    3D Yellow degreaser. Spray down wheels, tyres, rockers, grill etc </SPAN>

    Clay Magic blue</SPAN>

    HD Total, Door jams, interior</SPAN>

    HD Protect, interior</SPAN>

    HD Speed, Orange pad</SPAN>

    HD Poxy, just because I can</SPAN>



    As you can see the car is a lot worse for wear and very neglected, the oxidation was severe and the only panel that had been clear coated was pink.</SPAN>























    After a quick wash, clean and clay I did a couple of test sections</SPAN>



















    And done</SPAN>

























    HD Speed performed flawlessly, cleaned up the oxidation and removed the swirls without even breaking a sweat. As expected it did have a hard time with the scratches and RIDS however it was never my intention to try and remove these anyway. </SPAN>

    If it wasn’t for the fact I wanted to maintain the finish for as log and I could I would have been more than happy to not use Poxy over the top</SPAN>



    Although removing the oxidation suddenly displayed all of the deeper scratches and rids, the gloss helps to draw your attention away from them, that and the dramatic transformation.

    </SPAN>

    Now those that know me will agree that I am far from an emotional guy, however even I was moved when by the reaction of the owners after returning the car. They were ecstatic and couldn’t believe it was the same car.</SPAN>



    At the end of the day this is why I do it, not for money or anything else more than the passion and enjoyment I get from restoring a finish to how it should be.</SPAN>



    Enjoy</SPAN>



    Daniel</SPAN>

    Thank you Thomas, I appreciate it



    I will say it was by no means my best work, however it was one of the more rewarding jobs I have done in awhile.
