1982 Pontiac Trans Am with 72,xxx original miles. Her finish had lost its luster. Poor old girl needed some love. We were there for her.

Re: The screaming chicken in BLACK / extreme make-over, Superior Shine
Her neglected finish was original single stage black enamel. After a through wash we decontaminated the surface of her with clay then deep cleaned the paint with Meguiars #105 on a rotary polisher. Rotary work was followed with #105 with one of us using the G110V2 and the other the flex DA.
Here is a 50/50 shot...
SHHHHHHH .. I am in my polishing zone.....
Obviously she was single stage. I went with the yellow wool SOLO pad as her paint was soft. I found the other wool pads I had in my arsenal were too aggressive.

I almost forgot the dual xenon light pictures.......
Here you see the dual xenon illuminating a very faded and dull finish with very very little reflection properties.
