They love this car; however, it really needed some love from me! The paint was full of swirls, scratches, etching, more swirls, some hazing, and some beginning stages of clear failure on some horizontal panels.

Griot’s Perfecting Cream. Misc. MF towels. Scangrip lighting. McKee’s 37 Fast Metal Polish. McKee’s37 Hi Gloss Tire Dressing. Auto Finesse Glass Cleaner. Beta Test glass coating.
