[QUOTE="offroadkarter, post: 16121471, member: 79484"] Funny enough, my father is actually going to buy it because he wants a stick car again and hasn't pulled the trigger on a C7 vette. He's buying it for pretty much half of what it'll be worth when I'm done with it. I threw it up on a lift at a friends shop and aside from needing tires (3 of these are the original runflats, one was a date code 09), 2 of the wheels are bent. Everything underneath was very clean though, bushings all looked good, no leaking shocks, no rust. Glad to know I'm getting approval from one of our resident professional detailers Good news is the wool pads finally shipped. I hope to find some time this weekend to work on the car again since I'll be moving some cars out of state getting ready to move soon. I'm hoping the wool will work and I can zip through this. Since this paint is so hard, how do you think the polishing is going to go? I'm afraid the pads I normally polish with won't be enough, I think I normally use white but I also bought some blues. Should I step the polish up with an orange pad? Or stick with the normal polish procedure. I'll have to check the sides under good light and see how bad the scratches are, I figure as of right now, I'll only do the horizontal flat surfaces of the car with the wool pads. [/QUOTE]
