Hi, this is my first click & brag ever.
It is a 1993 Toyota MR2 with original ss red paint.
The paint was in pretty good condition as far as oxidation is concerned. Whole detail still took me 4 weekends and about 35 hours to complete. I'm a slow detailer. :dance My process:
for oxidized and heavily swirled places:
#80 on 4" light cutting pad
#81 on 4" finishing pad
For less swirled places
#81 with polishing pad (my lazy idea to combine and polishing and glazing into one step) It worked OK, but I think #80 on polishing pad was probably called for.
LSP:
476S x2
Natty's Blue x3, last two coats "concours waxed" just before the show.
Some deep scratches and a few swirls remain but mostly swirl free, especially the hood.
The full-sun shots I took on the way to the show, they provided a tent for the show.
