New car, new paint restoration. Thought you'd like to see some pics.

This one isn't done yet-still has some serious flaws (scratches, rock dings) that don't show up in the photos. However, it came out pretty well I think and we will hit it again in the spring before car show season.



pre-wash with a foam cannon to get the grit off



after about two hours of scrubbing, she's at least clean



In-process on polishing, you can see the line between before and after





the final mirror shine

Nice indeed!

Good to see an unmolested 85 in great shape!

Of course I am biased!
