Awesome work and write ups and pictures! And thanks for shareing your experience with your awesome car. Have been a fun and interesting thread to follow. I also like that you put some miles on your Nova.

It is better than that. If you want to get more aggressive you may want to try some microfiber cutting pads (there are lots to choose from on Autogeek). Again start out least aggressive with using a polish and a microfiber cutting pad then follow up with a foam pad and the same polish and see what happens. If that does not work then maybe try your compound with the microfiber cutting. Again you have to be careful since you do not know how thin your paint is, but it may be worth a try in a small area to see how the results are. For the vinyl top look into some of the Duragloss convertible top products-very good products! Kudos for your hard work and enthusiasm!

Like Scott Harle said earlier How in the H*** did I MISS this thread?

I have just now finished reading every single word and am blown away by the time, dedication and the application of good, sound advice from Mike and others here.

Well done, Bandit, and be proud, my friend...be VERY VERY proud!
