I just recently purchased a 2001 black Volvo S80 T6 which drives great, but it is 5 years old & looks like it has lived its life to this point in a 'soft cloth' car wash. I was talking to someone today about 50 feet from the car and he said he thought it looked great.
Good from far...far from good.
I purchased a PC at the end of last week & have not had any time to do anything with it yet. I had a couple of hours this afternoon, so I washed the car & tried a little test spot; the trunk lid.
Washed, clayed, #9, #7 and finished with #26. After I was done I was truly amazed that the finish actually feels wet.
Now I've done it. I've made a clean spot and it's going to rain for the next two days...
Quck & dirty images in the failing light of the afternoon.
