I tried at least 4 different combos before i got anything to even put a dent on this things clear coat, talk about stubborn.





















 
The alfa is my dads, its a 95', the last year they brought them hear. As you can see it has been seriously neglected for a very long time. Its been painted a couple of times, at least, and it was a real pita to work on. I started off with the PC and the car laughed at me, i went as mild as i could but at the end i had to use a WOOL pad with MEGUIARS 2.0 DIAMOND CUT, TWICE. And the paint is still full of swirls (alot less though). I don't have all the afters yet, i'll post those tomorrow.































Oh yah i had to wetsand the entire trunk with 3m 1500grit sand paper because a couple of days before he had decided to tape up a box he had to send out on the trunk. And the rims, lets just say it took 2 hours a one whole mothers mini powerball.

but for some reason i couldnt get the chrome next to the head light clean, i tried adams 1 and 2, mr. buffer, mothers power polish with mothers mini powerball but he didn't care because he was going to powdercoat it anyway. Wait did i say him, its actually my friends moms bike, lol.



























can you say no swirls/scratches?



 
The bike and the Benz look incredible!



Looks like you had your hands full with the Alfa. I did one probably around 10 years ago but it was pretty new, so no problems with the paint. I'm definitely interested in all your steps and the after pics. :)
