Started polishing on the POSIV all I got done tonight was step one of which is Menzerna Final Polish II. Turned out pretty good but plan to repeat this entire step again tomorrow. http://meguiarsonline.com/forums/ima.../Scottwax1.gif

HOLY SHIT!
That looks damn nice... I'll go ahead and stamp your papers if you're going to bring that one to Keller's on Wednesday. Did you already buy the extra insurance for the trip east? :rolleyes:
Nice rims, BTW... :D
Nice improvement!
Seems as if we may have had some oxidation issues....

As long as it is not raining I'll bring the POSIV to Keller's! ::Banana::
Holy schnickeys! You polished the soft top away!Quote:

Don't forget to shine the tires up!
I like the wing I think it is just high enough that Jimmy will not be able to hoist his lunch box onto my trunk lid. ;)Quote:

Double-sided tape most likely. Try to run work some dental floss between the bottom of the wing and the trunk lid to break it loose.Quote:

Floss is for :cat:'s
Dead blow hammer - stand behind the car and swing up toward the lower back edge of the wing. Don't worry about the rear window ;)
Use the same technique on that Cali car to get the wing you want.
Car is lookin good!
Are you going to put on a bigger wing like this one?
Great to see a shiny car.

Is an intervention required?Quote:

Pardon my French.

The car looks great!
Did Vivid & your Mom ask you to spend all day in the garage on Mom's Day?

Wow. That's quite a transformation!
Thanks everyone!Quote:

Great job! Maybe we should start a thread and everyone post before and after pictures of their cars.
Looks great, but it needs more lower... ::Banana::
(I'm not sure you can actually call it a POS any more... :rolleyes:)
Great job POS!
Just for the record I used the following items to get it red again!
- Meguiars Claybar
http://ep.yimg.com/ip/I/classic-motoring_2054_9822769 with an orange CCS Pad. (I started with this didn't clean up as good as I hoped so I went back to Intensive polish)
http://ep.yimg.com/ip/I/classic-motoring_2054_9860075 with an orange CCS Pad.
http://ep.yimg.com/ip/I/classic-motoring_2054_9822769 then back to this also with an orange CCS Pad.
http://ep.yimg.com/ip/I/classic-motoring_2054_9514201 with a white CCS Pad
http://ep.yimg.com/ip/I/classic-motoring_2049_3114395 with a black CCS pad (need to do this step a couple more times) ;)
Info on:
Menzerna (Yes it is not TCB stuff)
CCS Pads
And I used my trusty G110 Meguiars Polisher.
