I recently inherited my sisters 2003 Hyundai Elantra and needless to say it was 10x worse than my '96 Jeep. The paint was horrible -- it felt like sandpaper; had purple spray paint overspray from my mother painting something in the garage with the car in as well; had a few major scratches; and not to mention that it is a really crappy paint job (more orange peel than I've ever seen before...)
Process:
Wash -- Mothers Cal. Gold
Clay -- Clay Magic -- what once was blue is now tinted purple from the overspray
#83 with Sonus Orange x2
#80 with Sonus Green
Pinnacle by hand
Meg's Endurance Gloss on Tires
AIO on glass
What I learned:
1.) A bad paint job can only look so good
2.) I'm still learning how to use #83
3.) Black cars are harder than I thought
4.) Some products really attract dust & pollen -- (it doesn't help that my mom is really into flowers and we have many around the house)
5.) No matter how much I'm disatisfied with my own work, other people think it looks great.
