Mike, can you post a picture of the drivers door where the paint looked ruined before? A side by side before and after would be great!

Don got to it before me, I would like to point out that the after picture is after machine polishing with DACP. The finish actually gets darker, and more clear after I went over the entire car with the PC/83 combo, and then two PC applied coats of NXT Tech Wax.
I see have I have another picture of the same area of the door from a couple of different angles.

The finish on that vette is just SICK!
Impresive jobComment

Mike, first off, FANTASTIC job! The pain tlooks amazing.
I have a question. Why did you apply the DACP to the entire car then remove? I have always removed it a section at a time because because I have found it difficult to remove once it dried. Do you always do this or was there something special about this detail that called for it?Comment

Mike,
Fantastic job as usual! So, just 83 is ok? Would there have been an improvement by using 84 (I think its 84?) afterwards or would that have been over the top for a daily driver?
Thanks

Great Job Mike.
You really have quite a talent. Just wondering if you could have done this job solely with the PC unit and a more aggressive pad/compound or was a buffer required in this circumstance.
My '04 C-5 Convertible needs some polishing and I want to hit it with the #83 then #9. The dealer "cleaned" the car with bad towels and wiped it with dirt on it, so some small scratches to be delt with.
Nothing at all close to the mess you had to deal with. I'm amazed that you were able to acheive such results. Must have reduced that clear coat a little, huh?
Love your threads.

Hi Tim,
Yes I did read the write up, but as usual I fell foul of Meguiars numbering system. I guess I actually meant 82 then, which most people seem to use to follow up 83, and I would have thought that having run 83 on the rotary, the natural follow up with the PC would have been 82 not 83Comment

WOW!!!
Mike that is just unbelievable. And Lynn, that interior looks like it should be on a vinyl and rubber product label! Absolutely flawless! Amazing job on the seats!
That guy is certainly lucky to have had you two to bring his car back to life.Comment
