It's taken me a while, but finally gotten around to detailing the paint on our 97 LC that we bought this past August. Just too many other projects and too many aches and pains. But I just wanted to get it done, get the original paint protected properly and then move on. Got my step daughter to do some of the more repetitive work and finally began yesterday some of the final stages. Had no idea how it would look once we got through all the accumulated grime and age, but we started with a wash yesterday morning, then my step daughter has been doing the clay bar over the entire car, then I started today with my random orbit tool and a polishing pad, and meguiars ultimate polish pre-waxing glaze. I didn't want to go for anything more aggressive with such old paint. And wow, you can't wipe the smile off my face now that I see what we've got. Just unbelievable. Gonna throw a coat of Klasse AIO as a finishing touch on top for protectant and then move on to the underside with a wire wheel and fluid film. Having so much fun with this rig and it's standing still.
