Renewing a 16 y/o Paint

[Lochi]

Hi All!

Well, this was my first real detail and my second time with the PC (but first time polishing). The car is a 1988 Toyota Land Cruiser. It's the daily driver of a friend's mom.

The surface was a disaster. Lot's of scratches, cobweb swirls, oxidation, waterspots and everything that a paint can have (LOL ). The interior was really really dirty.

The process was:

Exterior:
Sonax Wash x2
Sonüs Clay Bar
Sonax Wash
Meg's #83 DACP via PC w/Sonüs Orange Cutting Pad @ 6
Meg's #80 SG via PC w/Sonüs Green Polishing Pad @ 5
Meg's NXT Tech Wax via PC w/Sonüs Gray Finishing pad @ 4.5
Meg's APC 10:1 on wheels and wheel wells
Meg's #40 on trim

Interior:
Vacuum
Meg's APC 10:1 on carpet, rubber and vinyl
Meg's #40 on rubber and vinyl
Meg's Medallion Leather Cleaner/Conditioner on seats.

Sorry, I don't have before pics of the entire car.
