95 T-Bird (G-Ma's Car)

This is my grandmas 95 T-Bird, only has 40k on it.It has always been garaged kept but i dont think its ever been waxed in 12 years. It had horrible oxidation and CC failure in some spots. They were talking about getting it repainted but it just isnt worth it. So my dad and i thought we see what we could do. Its deff not perfect, couldnt do anything for the CC failure but the rest came out pretty good. Total Time spent was 6 hours. This so far, has been the hardest car iv done.

Process-

Wash
P&S Citrus hand wash/DP Extreme Foam via foam gun/ Schmitt
Wheels and Tires- P&S Enviro Clean
Dried with chaomis wasnt worried about swirls

Paint Correction-
Menzerna Powergloss compound w/ wool pad Rotary at 1600 RPMS
Pinnacle Advance Swirl Remover w/ CCS orange UDM at 5.5
Menzerna 106 w/ CCS grey UDM 4.5
Topped with Surf City Nano Seal

Here are some before,afters, and 50/50 shots
























Any questions, comments are welcomed.
Thanks,
Trevor

It was my first time using it and i really liked it. Easy on and easy off, no dusting at all. Leaves a very nice shine and made the metallic pop pretty good. Only thing i didnt like is when i was shaking it up and the bottom blew out on me, wasted about half the bottle and smelt like bananas the rest of the day lol. Overall very good product. Ill be checking up on its durability.
