    Just recently completed(with assitance from the "BING") this car had some re-sprayed panels and the problems that come with that(sand scratches & tracers) along with U.V. damaged and dried out trim.
    After a thorough wash/clay etc.... I started with the decklid first as this part of the car is tight confines and I wanted to "Work downhill" after the correction on this part of the car.

    First 50/50's.

    Nice work!

    Do you have any tips on polishing outside? I don't have a garage :(

    Get a garage":whistle: .......J/K . There in Texas I know the summers are hot and winter can be cold, correcting paint outside is not advisable if it can be helped but my only advice is to borrow a garage of a family member or friend if possible as you need temp control and no dirt settling on the car from the wind.

    Bob,

    Excellence as usual. I'm sure this was a little more comfortable then the "saw dust job". What's your favorite clay? Also, what is your preferred method of correcting cloudy and marred headlight and tailight covers? I know 3M sells a kit. Is that any good?
