Renewing a 16 yo paint

[Lochi]

Hi All!



Well, this was my first real "autopian-way" detail and my second time with the PC (but first time polishing). The car is a 1988 Toyota Land Cruiser. It's the daily driver of a friend's mom.



The surface was a disaster. Lot's of scratches, cobweb swirls, oxidation, waterspots and everything that a paint can have (LOL :rofl ). The interior was really really dirty.



The process was:



Exterior:

Sonax Wash x2

Sonüs Clay Bar

Sonax Wash

Meg's #83 DACP via PC w/Sonüs Orange Cutting Pad @ 6

Meg's #80 SG via PC w/Sonüs Green Polishing Pad @ 5

Meg's NXT Tech Wax via PC w/Sonüs Gray Finishing pad @ 4.5

Meg's APC 10:1 on wheels and wheel wells

Meg's #40 on trim



Interior:

Vacuum

Meg's APC 10:1 on carpet, rubber and vinyl

Meg's #40 on rubber and vinyl

Meg's Medallion Leather Cleaner/Conditioner on seats.



Sorry, I don't have before pics of the entire car.

That paint looks like a different color. Nice job on it, especially on taping up all the necessary parts
