Detailed my 20 year old car with orginal paint
So my acura legend is a 1989. The car is original paint. When i first got it it was probally a pinkish white color. Heavily oxidized. The previouse owner let it sit for 2 years out on the curb never washed the entire time just sitting in the sun.
Today i was bored so was goofing around in the garage. I have a high speed sander that has velcro on it that sticks to the velcro on the back of the sanding disks. I was like hmm i wonder if a microfiber cloth would stick. And it did. So i took some scissors and cut the cloth in a circle so now i turned my sander into a cheap high speed buffer. Very high speed hehe. Slaped some cheapo rubbing compound and took it to my hood. I did burn the paint slightly do to my inexperince but i took it out with some scratch X. As you can see well this smiley says it all.... ![]() ![]() A up close shot to show you have shiny it really came out. ![]() Car was never garaged in its life. Goes to show you how good the paint jobs were in the older days. Last edited by YarisSedan; 04-03-2009 at 10:14 PM. |
