So I have a 72 Skylark that has some pretty faded enamel paint. I figure at some point I will just repaint it in a couple years when things are more settled and I have good workspace, but I decided to find a way to make the paint look as best as I possibly could. The only rust I can find on this car is around the vinyl top (it's leaking at the rear window some._ The paint was very flat and dull looking and the passenger fender had been repainted after a tire blew and tore it up, so it's a little two toned. Any way I am including some before and after pics. The first two pics are of the front hood. The passenger fender had already been repainted, that's why it is so shiny and I had done the top of the driver side fender. You can see how dull the paint is. All I did was rub this stuff on and used a lot of arm pressure. the guy at the paint shop said I should use a Dewalt power buffer, but he tested it by hand on the car and it worked real well, so I tried it too. I did use some pretty firm pressure to make up for the fact I was doing it by hand, it can out pretty good IMO. The winyl top is of two different sides, the one I did first was the same as the one shown but I forgot to take a pic, so you get the point. There were a lot of water stains that wouldn't come out before this, and they came out with no problem. It's hard to see them in the pics though. I have yet to do any polishing or waxing, just this #M compound which I think was pretty amazing.
