Move over Dan.

My first time trying to bring back a cars paint, still working on it but thought I'd throw up some photos since it'll probably be another month before I finish it.

Picked up an air orbital and some pads. No clue on products so I tried a Maguire's cutting compound stuff.

Taped a line on the back end, pretty noticeable difference.



More progress


One all-over pass completed with the cutting compound.



I'm sure it'd make Dan cry if he looked at it, but I was pretty impressed on the transformation so far.

Think there's some other products to get next so we'll see what happens.

Looks good, I had an experience like that on my Miata. Single stage red was totally ruined, did a 3 stage polish with a borrowed DA and Menzerna compound and it almost looked new after I was done. Such an incredibly satisfying experience.

Very nice indeed, that thing was chalk red the last time I saw it haha

Nice nice!! Apologies for being MIA with any assistance- 11 hour days and not much sleep right now for me =/

with the right tools, miatas really buff out well

^^^^ Proper method right there. For an extra, super slick, radioactive shine you may also want to try droppin the sack on any body panel......adds the perfect touch!
