The rear fender also needed several passes to get completely corrected:

The headlights also had large amounts of oxidation. These were taken care of using the Porter Cable, Meguiar’s M205 on Orange, followed by Plast-X. Notice how cloudy the face of the right headlight housing was.

I did the opposite side to show the difference.

The both of us stayed up until 2 AM working to get as much as we could get done before the next morning. This was the first detail I did with my new lighting install in the garage. It helped TREMENDOUSLY.

By the end of the night, the car was finally showing some signs of revival

Under the Brinkmann:

At this point, we decided to call it a night.

6:30AM - Finish Cutting Stage, Begin Refining Stage

After a short 3 ½ Hours of sleep, we got back up at 6:30AM and worked quickly to pick up from where we left off. After compounding with M105/PFW and SIP/White, I finally went one last time around the car with Ultrafina on Blue to remove any hologramming and further enhance the gloss of the paint.

I put Greg on the porter cable once he was finished on the rims. He used M105/Orange followed by M205/White for the smaller areas on the car.

Now, at this point there was so much dust on the car that it was hard to see the progress:

I decided to bring the car outside and hose it down to reduce any risk of inducing new scratches into the paint during waxing. The car was looking beautiful.

I was surprised to see beading already present on the car, even without any wax on.

After being rinsed down, the car was brought back inside the garage and blown dry once again.

Greg and I went around the car one more time to ensure that there was no longer leftoever residue present.

12:45 PM - LSP Application, Cleanup and Finish

Finally satisfied with the condition of the car’s paint, and just in time too (it was already 12:45), I waxed the car using Wolfgang’s Fuzion on a Meguiar’s Yellow Applicator Pad, removed using Meguiar’s Ultimate Quick Detailer and a clean microfiber towel, then applied Meguiar’s Endurance Tire Shine to the tires, and Invisible glass to the windows.

After photos!
