OK, partial detail at this point. With an 18 month old and getting ready for another in two months I don't have lots of time to dedicate, so I still have the interior to finish up, as well as a few other things like trying to polish the headlights. I wasn't trying to get it perfect, just learning the PC, but I think it looks 100% better. I was able to remove probably 80% of the swirls, but still have a lot of random scratches from 9 years of highway driving that one pass didn't quite remove. The finish is nice and smooth, and noticably deeper green. I didn't think to take it outside between the sealant and wax, so not sure if Natty's made much of a difference.
1996 Cutlass
Washed with Meg's Deep Crystal
Clayed
1 pass with OHC via Wolfgang Orange pad
2 coats EX-P (first via Gray pad, second by hand)
1 coat Natty's Blue
sprayed tires with Meg's Hot Shine
This is the only before pic I bothered to show. Due to the old 2.1 MP camera, it doesn't due justice in showing the difference. But I think this shot shows how rather blah the paint looked compared the after shots.
Next up is a shot after I did half the hood (top half in pic). Not a great pic, but I think you can see the improvement.
These are all afters. This first one shows all the years of road rash.
