1982 Mercedes Coupe

[Guest]

Just bought this car on Friday, cleaned it up over the weekend (a full day's worth of work, all by hand). It looked a lot worse before than the pictures can convey and I didn't have high hopes. Never tried doing any paint restoration before. Pretty happy with the result!

You are a brave man doing that by hand. I am now spoiled with proper tools to ever try to attempt things by hand again. Its always good to know how to do things by hand we well. Night and day difference... Awesome job! That has got to be the shiniest dent I've ever seen.

Im guessing Ultimate Compound? or since it could possibly be single staged paint.. M07 to put oils back into the paint?
