Good soapy wash, claybar the whole car over, then power polish with a couple of strengths of polish called Workout from Car Brite. If I recall correctly we used Workout 1500 and Workout 1000 afterwards. ;)

Yea, the red is a single stage paint, it if hasnt cracked up and been extremely oxidized lots of times you can polish off the oxidation to a nice shine....or you can just keep it shiny from the begining.:: PNW Crew ::

Thats amazing! Where do you find information on which colors are single stage paints?
As time went on, the factory developed the car each year, making it faster, more comfortable, and capable of handling at higher speeds.
You don’t want this. You want the trickiest, most dangerous, oldest model you can find. Only then can you prove to the world that you’re a man.Comment
