Malibu Resurrection

[BlkHemiLTD]

Did this for a friend around Christmas time. It's a 2002 Malibu I believe and it was beyond neglect. Took 2 days of work and there were A LOT of defect that wouldn't come out. It turned out like a different car in the end though and it was more of a "how much of an improvement can I actually make" sort of detail than trying for a full correction.

M105 w/ orange Kompressor 6" pad (Makita 9227 rotary)
M205 w/ white Kompressor 6" pad (GG DA Polisher)
M21 synthetic sealant poly-charged w/gray Kompressor 6" (GG DA)

And ... he hasn't washed it since then. Like I said though it was more of a chance to practice for me and see how much I could improve it and he was pretty excited to see it lookin that way for the whole maybe week it lasted

Serious rescue job - kudos! How do you feel the M105 + rotary finished down? I imagine the horsepower was great, and it sure looks like the M205 did what you wanted.

The 105 finishes down really nice actually, just a little hazing but that's where 205 came in. It is a little finicky to work with though too little or too much is separated by a thin line. I still had issues on certain panels with it gumming but I just add a little more and make one more pass and it picks it up usually so I can wipe it down.
