    VW Golf MKII resurrected

    This was my favourite car and it have spent the last five years outside under a tree.
    And when my cousin asked to buy it from me, I then decided to sell it to him. As I said
    it was a favourite car of mine and I have always felt sorry for her since she spent
    so long time outside. My wife always liked to remind me about how the car was alone and outside.
    But now when I found a new home for her, I decided to bring her back to former glory.

    This was not a correctional detail; i just wanted to remove the oxidation, moss and other decontamination
    that you can find on a car who spent a half decade outside.

    Anyways, here is the pictures

    Nice work. This is a testimony that "it ain't over until it's over".

    ultimate compound might be a good option as it can restore gloss and correct the paint

    Dug up from the grave and looks to be in great condition now.

    Nice finish!

    Thanks for the comments. Product used was autoscrub with DA, rotary with Menzerna IP and I also cleansed the paint with a beta product from Optimum and topped it with Bilt hamber finis-wax.

    WOW! Amazing results! I "love" working on oxidized paint. What really blows me away is how the oxidation sort of "shields" the paint from everything else as long as the oxidation isn't too far gone.
