    that's got to be the most dramatic transformation I have ever seen.

    How does a car get that oxidized anyhow?
    I told my wife that a husband is like a fine wine; he gets better with age. The next day, she locked me in the cellar.

    well i used meguiars ultimate compound on orange pad it took about 2-3 passes each section to get to where i was happy with the results....

    and dr oldz what I did was I found that applying any wax or polish after the ultimate compound stage made it dull again until I applied meguiars number 7 again by hand letting it soak in and removed it

    Looks AWESOME, Nathan! Nice work!

    Sorry I didn't return your call from yesterday BTW, I've been out of the house a lot this weekend and didn't get the message until late. Glad that Dynabrade worked out well for you and that you figured out a process that worked on that finish.



    No more giving me those dirty looks from now on, eh?
