To start, 2 bucket wash with Gold Class Wash & microfiber wash mitt., let the car air dry while I gathered the other materials
Started with Ult Compound on a cutting pad, so-so results so I switched to Ult Compound on a polishing pad. Much better. Once I got into the swing of things it went pretty smooth. I did the metal panels of the car then took a look at the front and rear bumpers and thought heck with it and pulled out the rotary with a polishing pad and did the majority of the bumpers with the rotary and the smaller areas by hand. It turned out ok considering that they are 20 years old and badly faded and scratched. The windows were cleaned with Ult Quik Detailer and 2 microfiber towels. Tomorrow I will be doing the interior - just a vac and light cleaning/dressing of the vinyl.
Just a "basic" compounding and sealing. The tires were not dressed in the after pics partially because the cleaner I used - Meguiars All Wheel and Tire Cleaner does such a good job of cleaning the tires, they look really good "naked." Sorry, no sun pics, the clouds weren't cooperating
Ok, enough talk ... on to the pics:
Ignore the crazy woman in the background, it's just the neighbor
