This car was a chore and no matter what I tried it had far too many RIDS to effectively make it perfect. Car is a one owner and has had very little maintenance done to it ever. Also, the sunroof leaks so there was a fair amount of mold in the rear footwells. Total time 13 hours.

Didn't feel like polishing out those side markers?



Those sidemarkers were beyond salvation. I wetsanded them and polished them with the same steps as above for the headlights without any improvement.



Thanks for the compliments all.
