wow. was the car really dirty in those first pics? or is that how bad the paint was? Either waiy thats a huge difference. Love the car.
does it have any cautions on the bottle about how bad it could be to your paint? how easy was it to use? does it go on like wax or is there more work involved?
let us know, my paint and my wife's paint both look like hell........
GO PATS!!!
I am a big Meguiars fan! I still use Meguiars glaze.
I just started using
Klasse Waxand this stuff is awesome!! Well worth the money and does not break down as fast as Carnuba wax does.

thats what i was thinking in a few months i need to find some good stuff to make my car shine good. isn't there a 3 step meguiars thing and if so would i be able to use that stuff too?
The car was dirty in the first couple pics.
But yes, this is a good starting point.
I still need to polish and wax it.

Looking good my car looks the same.(like the b4 pics) i think i will be buying some of that..one thing tho did you put it on by hand or can you use a buffer?? just curiose cuz it would be alot easier to just buy 3 bonnets for the buffer and switch them from that to polish and wax. and what kind of polish and wax you gonna use?
By hand. Wanted to see where I ended up before getting the buffer out.
I am sticking with Meguiar's. Polish went on today.
I didn't even know there was this good of paint left.

U should try meguiars professional grade line.Thats All I use and omg the wonders this stuff does.It is far better and cost a little more but napa,car quest, and some other stores do carry this stuff.I use the #4 heavy cut cleaner sometimes,#7 show car glaze,#9 swirl remover 2.0 and the #26 hi-tech yellow wax in addition to the deep crystal step 2 polish.There are so many but these are my favs and teh heavy cut is for deep trash they do make a medium and light cut cleaner as well.Thought I would share the info.
Thanks.
I have a group of different things I use from them.
Still plenty of work to do to the paint...but for now, she is getting better.

Impressive, is this like the same idea as the paint cleaner swirl remover stuff zaino sells?
Its an abrasive and only supposed be used once in a while when needed, right??
Your car looks amazing, i'm inspired to get polishing this year
hmmmm..
very sexy! can't deny that at all!

And yes, it is a mild abrasive to help smoothen out the swirls. The car had a rough 8 months while I was working on the swap. Between losing a job and changing my mind all kinds of times it took a while to finish up.
Needed help.

Z is stock. For now.
He just bought it about 4 months ago. Trying to decide which route to go right now.

Checker Auto Parts.
I got it a while back. Probably a different bottle now.
My best guess is that it is the same as this...
