Here's a little section I taped off (hard to see with white paint) that shows the correction after m105. That's two different shades of white. Looks pretty good but I'm going to follow up with m205 afterwards. I'm using the m105 with an orange CCS pad (I only have 1 unfortunately so it'll be slow going b/c the pad will have to be cleaned frequently) and PC7424. This first step also got rid of the scratches I highlighted w/ red circles in the earlier picture. The only thing left are some scratches from the cat when it was living but they aren't very noticeable.



I also removed the spoiler...holy cow the dirt!

Nice progress. Looking forward to seeing it complete.

great improvement so far, i know you don't want to hear this but just order a couple more pads it makes your life 10x easier
also be careful when removing that built up gunk as to not scratch / mar your paint etc
I clayed mine with QD as lube and then quick detailed again (as opposed to WW for higher lubricity) and then wiped the remains away
also that gunk that came off reminds me of the 79 vette I restored a week ago, gross!

Well I'm finally done with the 105, I had to clean the pad 3 different times. I've got plenty of white pads so I'll be able to move much more quickly with the 205.

Something I found interesting is how hard it was to remove the 105 on the plastic painted parts. On the metal painted parts it was predictable, went on smoothly and took some elbow grease but came off cleanly. To remove it from the plastic painted parts I actually took the pad cleaner and soaked a rag and removed the residue that way. I'm sure it's not preferred but 15-20lbs of pressure over and over wasn't a good idea either.

I hope to start with the 205 tomorrow.

Yes the garage is messy...it's in a transitional phase.

Well I'm finally done with polishing up on the car. I did the whole car with 105, then 205 and decided to finish with a sealer instead of a carnauba for durability sake. Here are a couple pictures outside, I can't believe how well it came out. Hard to tell it has over $190k on it. I don't have pictures but I also took the gauge pod out so I could separate the housing and clean out the ashes since my Mom smoked. I also polished on the headlights which look a lot better in this photo than they do in person. The tail lights are the factory originals.
