I'm amazed how neglected this car was. Apparently it was never washed in its 15 year life, and it came from Ontario 
Right when I saw it, I almost died. Hood, roof, trunk and spoiler were covered in extreme oxidation, but throughout that, it looked like someone had taken a metal brush, and ran it along those panels about 500 times. You'll see what I'm talking about in the pics. I tried everything on it. Even straight Hi Temp Extreme Cut on a cutting pad did nothing. Removed most of the oxidation, but heavy swirling still remained, even after 3 more passes!
Even the side panels were in need for some serious TLC. Heavy swirling, but most was removed with HTEC via rotary on a polishing pad x2. Didn't get a chance to finish the car, so no real after shots yet, but I'll be finishing it soon.
Hood shot...
Door shot
Trunk shot
One pass of HT-EC via rotary on a cutting pad, looks better eh...?
Not so fast, check out what still lies under that!
Some more progress (No the swirling is still there, afternoon sun kinda makes it look better than it is)
Side panels finished
