This car's had a rough life. We've had it since it was brand new. It has 116k miles on the clock, was daily driven from '98 until last year and spent all it's time outdoors. For the first six years or so it was only washed with dawn and the occasional wax. The paint had a lot of oxidation and stains from sitting under trees for so long.
I started with a wash with meguiars gold class, then meg's clay bar. Then I used a few combinations of sonus yellow and white pads with Menzerna IP and FPII. Finally I waxed with Meg's gold class paste(man the PC makes waxing soo much easier :dance )
And here's some pics

The car has a lot of rock chips and a bunch of scratches too deep for these pads, but my main concern with the car was the oxidation, so I'm happy with it.
Oh, no full car shots yet. The battery is dead and the wheels/tires still need a lot of help.
