Woke up early this morning to try and help my mom bring a little life back to her paint. This was my first time working on an older car and one that did not belong to me.
Before Pics:
Driver Side Door -- This is the overall condition of the vehicle summarized in one door. Did not ever see a garage for 10 years. Never been clayed to my knowledge either.

Front Tire

Passenger Door - You can see this weird scratch she had down the entire passenger side of the car.

Not looking good. I washed, removed contaminants with a medium grade nanoskin sponge, then got to work with the machine. I used UC on a Tangerine Hydrotech pad.
After:
Driver Side Door - Cleared up a lot. Didn't remove everything I wanted, but you can't ask for more on a 10 year daily driver.
