My first week of Amazon ownership has mainly focused on making sure the car is road-worthy, and trying to bring some life back to the neglected paint.

It was resprayed at some point in it's history, not that well, with single stage paint (I'd guess 15+ years ago). Everything was pretty oxidized, especially the horizontal surfaces. Luckily I was able to bring some life back to it. This represents about 15-18 hours over the course of a week, all done by hand. It's not perfect, but overall I'm more than satisfied with the transformation!

Process:
Meguiars Gold Class Wash
Meguiars Smooth Surface Clay
Meguiars ScratchX 2.0 (entire car, really cut through the oxidization)
Meguiars Deep Crystal Polish (VERY impressed with this, really added depth)
Meguairs NTX Wax (Also impressed, very easy to apply)
