hahaha... yeah smiles all around

I need to find me one of those and flip it...

For sure man! If I find another one like that, I won't hesitate one bit.

I used a product called Phase II...we order in bulk at the Lexus dealership I work at. I used that on a big Makita buffer with a wool pad, medium speed. That took most of the oxidation off and shined it up. Then I used a foam pad on the same buffer with some polish called Black Pearl, also at a medium speed. Wiped everything off with a microfiber, and she was good to go!

The engine, I just power washed it off and sprayed some rubber shine on it. Looked fantastic, just as long as the car never goes on a gravel road

As far as the interior, I blew it out with a thing called a Tornador, which shoots cleaner with compressed air. It took most of the stains right out, and then vacuumed the years of nastiness off the seats and carpet. Then just a ton of elbow grease wiping down the plastics, and a little ArmorAll, and she was ready to go! I did throw on some Autozone seat covers to cover up the torn driver's seat too, just to make myself feel better.

so with like $25 in meguiars deep polish and next gen wax do the same thing the other products you used? ive always liked meguiars shine/finish but im intrested in trying new things, im guessing these would work and i plan on applying them to see the type of finish that i get
