-Use Adam’s brand blue compound with a blue foam buffing pad at high speed, probably go through a few pads. (May need to do this twice).
-Use Adam’s brand white polish with a white foam buffing pad at high speed
-Use Zaino brand show car polish. Put on by hand or low speed buffer. Let sit for 30 min. If you want to use more thank e coat use the ZFX curing additive.
-Spray with Zaino gloss enhancer
-Enjoy your new paint!

Here are some before after pics of the process

Dang, those cars cleaned up nice! I've got most of the stuff on your list. We'll give this a try.

This kind of style doesn't come cheap. $95/yd for the vinly and an eye watering $169/yd for the plaid. I think we'll be rocking the Mexican blanket while he saves up. I ponied up for all the stuff to make the car safe and drivable, appearance is on him. Funnily enough, SMS is about 30 minutes from where the car was in Oregon.

I wonder how many square yards it would take for each...

The car got here this afternoon. It's got #46 heads with screw in studs

I discovered a huge puddle of oil in the intake around the driver's side exhaust cross over which is worrying and not safe. We're taking it to shop night at his school tonight so we'll investigate. If we're lucky, it's just a valve cover leak.

For the most part, everything's there and complete.
