Restoring may not be the best choice of words...but I think it may be close. The car I'm working on is a 96' that has only been driven about 100 miles in the last 7 years or so. Over that time period the car has been stored under a high quality car cover in an open driveway. It was washed a waxed probably once a year (very quick job). I moved about 1 year ago here to Delaware where the car has NOT been covered and sitting in a car-port. Now, after sitting the car is THICK with pollen (tons it seems), dirt, dust, etc. This is by far the dirtiest the car has ever been and it has been neglected over the years.
The paint has the normal minor swirl marks etc.. but shines pretty well when cleaned. The car is coming out of 7yr hibernation in 2 weeks and I'd like to have somebody point me in the right direction and lay out a good product selection for each step that I should use to bring it back alive. I will be doing all the work by hand.....no buffer etc.. - I have a DA, but don't trust myself.
Thanks! Mark
P.S. I would take some pics to help, but its 11pm right now. Let me know if pics would help and I can try to get some posted.
