Finally finished this project for the dealer!
The paint was very thin and single stage, so extra care had to be used. And, I managed to burn through an edge on the lower front fender. We knew the car had been compounded over its' 20 year life and tried to be as careful as possible.
For products, I used Meguiar's #83 where there was some correction needed, followed by Meguiar's Color X for depth and further surface enhancement.
Finally, I applied a heavy coat of Meguiar's #26 with a pc and let it dry completely. THEN, I power washed the car to remove excess product from body seams, etc. While the car was wet, I removed the 26 with new mf towels. The dampness on top of the 26 acted like a quick detailer so there was no towel hazing.
Before sample of paint:
AFTER'S:
While the car is not Concour's level, it's very nice for a 20 year old vehicle with 100,000 miles. It's going into the dealer's collection of M Series.
