Black Holden Commodore Paint Correction

[SanmerDetailing]

My nephew was recently married and while he was off on his honeymoon I borrowed his car to correct the paint on it. Since he was starting his new life with his wonderful new wife, I thought his car should look new as well.

The plan was to do a quick detail to bring the paint back up to a decent shine. The reality was a lot of painting and sanding and a weeks part time work to get it looking its best.

Products used
Meguiar's Gold Class wash
Concours Blizzard foaming wash
APC
Power Plus automotive aerosol paint
Menzerna FG500
Poorboys Polish with Carnuaba
Poorboys Nattys Blue
And every Lake County foam cutting pad that I have..

Very Nice work

WOW, talk about rags to riches!!

The finish looked well worn by use and the elements and this is a testament to how even trashed paint can be brought back to life with the right skills and products...

One satisfied nephew I suspect!

What a transformation. Hopefully you can teach your nephew paint care so he can keep it in good shape.
