I finally got around to buffing out the paint on my car... It hasnt been waxed in who knows how long... atleast 10 years, proboally longer. I used a low speed electric buffer and some cleaner wax. I didnt spend but about 30 to 45 mins on this side of the car, and ended up quiting before i wanted to... but you can tell a major difference in it. Maybe now I'll put the paint job off until later... since it actually shines a little bit. May do a bit more on it later but not sure yet Anyways... heres before/after pic
To be honest with you, keep looking into a paint job (based on your budget of course) because if you look at my pics, It was right after I wet sanded and buffed my car and since I didn't have much of a clear coat on the car when I bought it, it is fading dramatically. Just my
Im still looking into a paintjob... it's gonna get it anyways, as i hate the red. The car isnt a base/clear paint anyways so I dont have to worry about not having much clear on it as it didnt come with any. I was just bored and figured id give it a try... it started to shine The trunk I hit up w/ a real high speed buffer last year and it shined way better than this, so I may go after it again and see what I can do. But sure beats having a faded car... even if it may not last forever, it puts money in my pocket to get the car more driveable before i paint it
true i hear ya on that one, I'm not trying to knock what you are doing, I love doing as much free stuff to make the car look good also!
Nah its cool I was just surprised it turned out like it did w/ just a little work. Nowhere near "nice" but way better than dull
Thanks Jim... hope to see you in Memphis in June if your gonna come to the Hot Rod Power Tour thing... gonna take the ole Comet for a spin.
