Got me a new Project 77 Caddy

Update: I got several care packages this weekend, foam pads, purple foamed wool pads and my XCE 10-8. Earlier in the week, I did a test spot on the trunk with my rotary and a foamed wool pad teamed with Menzerna 400 which turned out fantastic. While I wanted for my XCE, I did Mikes Meguiars #7 rubdown since the 44-year-old paint was dry as a desert but was always kept inside. There was no cracking but it was hard so a 12 hour double soaking of #7 was in order.

Today the XCE package came with some Wolfgang ubercompound so I did a test spot with that and not nearly as efficient as the 400. I also did a second test spot over top of the original 400 test spot with Menz 3500 SF with no noticeable improvement which surprised me because that stuff rocks on clearcoat finishes. With combo dialed in, I covered half the trunk and sealed it up with Collonite 845. Sorry for the low res/garage light pics but you can get the picture on progress.

Well, just finished her up yesterday. Prep was Mikes Meguiars #7 rubdown (3x) then polishing. My winner was Menzerna 400 and LC Purple foamed wool pads, followed up with Menz 3500 with LC White Polishing pad and finished with Wolfgang Paint Sealant 3.0. I did a test spot with Collinite 845 and 476s as a topper, made it less slick so I bailed.
