Wow was thing rough! By far my biggest challenge yet, this thing was used in an oil field for about 8 years and sat since then. Cc

Just a bit of dirt on that thing! That will make for some awesome before and after pictures. Be sure you take plenty of pictures along the way.

Since it was so bad the goal of the first pass was just to clean it up. I used the rotary buffer with a 7 inch wool pad and meguires #1 heavy cut compound.

Here are some during day 1

Looking good so far. When I got my truck and did the correction on that, it was a big job and it didn't have neatly as many deep scratching as this one does. I'm looking forward to seeing the after photos.

Beginning day 2. I wasn't worried about the swirls because my goal was cutting.
Day 2 I used my GG6 with a course yellow pad and M105
I switched between 5 and 6 in pads was the pads got dirty.

Day 3 it all came together.
GG6 with 6" black pad
Klasse high gloss sealant glaze

The interior...
Bleach white degreaser with a steamer and steam vac. About 5 hours worth of work.

The wheels.
I used good old never-dull with a 3" wool bonnet attached to a drill.

The tires were cleaned with bleach white and topped with black magic.

I never seen so many scratches on the vehicle that didn't start taking off clear coat. But the clear coat is fully intact.
There were a few rids I left alone out of concern of burning through the cc.
