Noticed when the sun hit the stang at our last cruise night (2014) that there was a lot of scratches and swirls...
Went to task with a wash, clay, 7424 DA cut&buff with Pinnacle swirl and scratch remover, DA with Pinnacle Advanced Finishing Polish, then DA 7424 with Pinnacle liquid souveran carnuba.

Came out great!

Next was onto my Buddy Rich's 65 Mustang: Single Stage Paint.
Used a 4 step process to try to bring some luster back and remove all the scratches.

Then the Mrs. Honda FIT (which is the car that carts the two Greyhound around...)

Well Done!
Older non-clearcoat cars can be really tough.
