Default Pics of my freshly waxed SC....video too!!!

Ive been buffing it for the past two days and it looks much much better now. You can clearly see reflections in the paint and it is silky smooth (via the video, keep in mind that is parked on a slight slope). I also added my gunmetal/black chrome emblems which Im still kinda iffy about.

3M and megiuars professional. The paint was in really rough shape so this was actually about a 5-6 step process with machine polish, glaze and wax. Also keep in mind that these pics were taken at dusk and Im they'd look better taken midday.

Looks great man! Can you give a step by step with the products and method you used? I have to do something similar to remove some oxidation from my SC..

Thanks, man!

paint looks so fresh! the emblems on the other hand kinda caught my eye. if you did put them on yourself they aren't lined up correctly, and i don't know if you purposely used the 97+ sc300 emblem or not (2 piece) but it would have looked better imho with the older 1 piece ones aligned correctly of course.

Thanks for the comments. The emblems look correct in person (and yes I did put them on myself) so it must be the angle of the picture (if they werent correct I would reposition them). Also note that I have a 96 model but 92-94 tails due to a previous owner that obviously didnt care much about the car.
