Nice
Great work. Judging by the state of the front right, I presume this car doesnt get out much.
Beautifull old girl, she looks to be in immaculate condition!
Nice work Vincent
aaaaa Nice!!! The Fuchs mags on it looks really good. I'm looking for a set for my VW beetle.
Nice work Vincent. Lovely classic.
Is that a single stage red?
Hi Woodie, Yes that is a single stage paint. Made my Yellow pads nice and red.
Thanks to everyone for the positive feedback

Turned your polishing pads into cutting pads
.
On a serious note though, when you next get to treat this old lady you should consider adding a pure polish step - something like M81, Deep Crystal Polish or the fabled M07. The single stage paints usually respond very well to a pure polish.
Hi Woodie,
Yes the 2nd time i treated this car I used the Meguiars M07 show Car Glaze and applied it by hand.
That was after about 3 months after the 1st treatment I had done.
This time the car had been standing uncovered exposed to elements for about 8 months I would say.
So the paint had really lost it's shine and lustre.
hence why I decided to go with the Meguiars Yellow Polishing pad and Menzerna Final Finish Polish with a 40% cut. I also never went beyond speed 2 on the Makita and kept the pressure very light on the head of the machine.
I do realise that with a car being this old that one needs to really be gentle and careful as not to remove too much paint from the car.
I also ended up using 3 pads over the car. As soon as I could see that the pad was getting stained I would change over to a fresh pad.
This was purely a 2 step Detail... step 1 the Menzerna Final Finish and step 2 the wolfgang deep gloss sealant 3.0
Stunning! is this the same car thats in the megs advert in some magazines?
Hi Audioholic,
No i dont think this car is used in ads.
The owner of the car is more overseas than here in SA.
Hi Brother looks after the car for him.
I will be doing his Scooby WRX next week I think.
Nice work Vincent. Classic indeed.
Cool man, we'll be waiting! really nice work btw!
