well figured i would post some pictures up of my ride..got her 6 months ago with 106,000 miles on the clock and the super white II (SS) paint was a mess, dull and black spots. took some time by hand with various OTC products along with the wax spreader and still did not look good so heres a picture(sorry i do not have more before pics) before i used the rotary on it:

now heres how she looks, after she was polished 2 weeks ago using; meguiars scratch X on a yellow sm arnold polishing pad, then was followed by ultimate polish on a black sm aarnold finishing pad, i then used the white pad that came with my rotary and applied some meguiars show car glaze #7. of course i followed that up with some nxt 2.0, then today i applied a nice layer of some mirror glaze #20 let it sit for about 30-45 minutes then wiped off and she looks very nice. but still not up to my standards!

Now here is a picture of my interior cleaned up and for dressing i used eagle one dash gel(sucks horribly and was before i got my AG order in). the dash and everything is WAY too glossy, has a heavily greasy feel,sticky,attracts dust like nobody's business. sad part is it's water based!!!..i will post a updated pic including my other trim peices i newly painted. also, to add all the trim work was done by me including shift/ebrake boot, door panel cards and A-pillar trim...but for now to show how my interior looks it will do....

just to clarify some things, i know my hood,bumper and fenders are not all that shiny that is due to them in the process of being repainted. whoever owned this car before, used what looks to be spray on latex paint i had to scrape not sand off!. hope you enjoyed my work in progress and will inform you all here at AGO of any changes that happen!...have a good day
