I will state from the outset that this was not really a correction, just a good opportunity to do a good deed for another by cleaning up a car and playing with some products.
</SPAN>
I don’t have a lot of pics for this as it was never my intention to post it, however by the end I felt I had to share.</SPAN>
Besides it shows how well HD Speed works

I have been meaning to do something with this car for a little while now and like most time just seems to get away from me. One of my neighbours is a lovely elderly couple that have had a bad run with health issues for a while now. They often comment on how good my car looks and how they wish they were still able to look after their own. </SPAN>
And being that it is the season of giving I decided to do a little giving of my own.</SPAN>
On the rouse of borrowing their car, I took the keys and the car at got to work. </SPAN>
This was also a good opportunity to get my kids involved as well.</SPAN>
Products.</SPAN>
3D Yellow degreaser. Spray down wheels, tyres, rockers, grill etc </SPAN>
Clay Magic blue</SPAN>
HD Total, Door jams, interior</SPAN>
HD Protect, interior</SPAN>
HD Speed, Orange pad</SPAN>
HD Poxy, just because I can</SPAN>
As you can see the car is a lot worse for wear and very neglected, the oxidation was severe and the only panel that had been clear coated was pink.</SPAN>
After a quick wash, clean and clay I did a couple of test sections</SPAN>
And done</SPAN>
HD Speed performed flawlessly, cleaned up the oxidation and removed the swirls without even breaking a sweat. As expected it did have a hard time with the scratches and RIDS however it was never my intention to try and remove these anyway. </SPAN>
If it wasn’t for the fact I wanted to maintain the finish for as log and I could I would have been more than happy to not use Poxy over the top</SPAN>
Although removing the oxidation suddenly displayed all of the deeper scratches and rids, the gloss helps to draw your attention away from them, that and the dramatic transformation.
</SPAN>
Now those that know me will agree that I am far from an emotional guy, however even I was moved when by the reaction of the owners after returning the car. They were ecstatic and couldn’t believe it was the same car.</SPAN>
At the end of the day this is why I do it, not for money or anything else more than the passion and enjoyment I get from restoring a finish to how it should be.</SPAN>
Enjoy</SPAN>
