The Old Mans Bus.....

[Little Newms]

Just copied from another forum so sorry for the detailing write up!

**********************************************************

Right my dads daily driver here. Never in its life has it seen a little hand polish or anything... But it has been washed every two - three weeks in its life. But with the crap weather being here and staying around for a few good months i decided to do a full paint correction.

I have missed some pictures out because i was far to busy to be taking pictures!

Total work time was around 24 hours over three days...

A couple of befores:

I then moved the car straight into the garage to dry of and then ran the clay bar over the whole car

Here is the car before a decent claying

During.....

And after! Claying took almost two hours alone! 10 Years of build up certainly showed!!!

Wheels, tyres and windows all finished of with megs's metal polish and glass cleaner.

The interior was in good shape before hand just just a quick rub of AG leather cleaner into the seats. And a decent hover

Now i then went over the car with Megs #83 and #80. Followed by a product a really cant remember right now :lol:

I finally finished it all of with two layers of megs #16.

Shame the sun was hiding behind the trees

Coments welcome
