Met up with Dave today and did a great job on my car, really. When I pulled up the car was filthy with oxidation all over it and I honestly wasn't sure there was much hope, but Dave worked his magic on my car and brought it back to life! Thank you Dave for allowing me to use your products and tools and helping me out. I honestly would never had got this done without you!
Here are some pictures:

Thank you, the bumpers will still need to be repainted in the future but as for now they shine again and are glossy

Glad I could help. Get the bumper covers and hood painted and with not much work she'll look like new. The rest of the paint is really in pretty good shape. Glad you are happy with the outcome. :)

Looks good!

Props Dave for stepping up and helping a forum member

There has been some members recently that have asked for a helping hand with detailing their car. So I was thinking of starting a thread for members to post in if they needed any help with something. Even if it isn't 100% detail related. Then other members can offer to help with wanted.

I couldn't be any happier I honestly wasn't expecting such great results just because of the condition of the paint on the hood and bumper covers.
Give it a few months and the hood will be repainted as well as the bumper covers!

Great. I meant to give you that little bottle of spray Ultimate wax. You should pick up some spray wax and use it on the hood after every washing. That will help keep the color from fading and keep a nice shine on it until you get it painted. Use it on the whole car every couple washings.

As you can see on the bumper covers there is some CC failure there and on the hood. The hood also had some oxidation. Because of the CC condition I didn't want to get too aggressive. We washed and clayed it. Then did a test spot on the hood with hyper polish and yellow pads. It cleaned up pretty good. I did use some 105 on the hood to get rid of the heavy oxidation. Then we went over the car with PB black hole then put a coat of meg ULW on. John was one of the quickest learners I've worked with. I'm sure he'll be doing paint correction and detailing soon.

been away for a while been busy with work, thank you Dave for the kind words, detailing has always been a hobby of mine just never really got into it, never had the chance.
Since the detail we did I've had a new front bumper installed on the front and both the front and rear bumpers painted, she's looking very sexy now, got we garages kept now but a in depth detail is coming due soon.
