Looking good! What was your process to bring up the gloss like this, and what's under the bonnet in this wagon?

Came up a treat! its a 16 year old paint job that was faded, scuffed, and covered in the usual grime. well was. It looks great, and its very hard to think it was painted in 1996!
Its a 71 XY Fairmont Wagon, From Ford Australia. Sold new in NZ and has a 302ci Cleveland V8 freshly re-bult with high compression heads, flat top pistons and a stage 1 cam.
Smurf has done a superb job on it. Couldn't be happier! Cheers mate!

Like you said early on, sorry there were no before shots - we would have loved to have seen those since you had to use such an aggressive process to bring her back. One can only imagine what it must have looked like before, but it's just beautiful now!

Welcome to MOL, and might we add that it's very cool for the car owner to sign up to thank the detailer here!

Thanks Michael

I had tryed to get some be for photos out in the sun to show all the swirls and marks .
What I found was that the colour made it so hard to show the swirls in the photos so I gave up on that lol.
