Thanks Jason! I agree with you on the Meguiars #7, it is really great stuff for old single stage paint. I used it on my '54 Studebaker since the paint job is an old early '70s repaint.

I'm amazed at the shine you brought back on the car. Would never have thought that paint would come back that well.


My Pleasure Paul and thanks for taking the time to look and comment.

My work and technique aside, this really is a testament to the amazing quality of the paint. I have worked on the paint of at least 200 vehicles and this Packard paint is exceptional - to be able to withstand the neglect it experienced to then have me go at it hard and heavy blows me away!!!

Here are some pics from this weekends progress with comparison shots
