Elbow Grease...

    I'm always a bit surprised at the results you can get after a long winter with soap, water, polish and paste wax...especially since my car was painted once since new, 33 years ago. Now for a nap! :cheer:

    Hey Sam,
    What kind of polish and paste wax did you use?
    Thanks,
    Jeff

    Turtle Wax makes a dyed polish for black cars...used that first, but used Meguire's polish in a couple of spots. Then Meguire's paste wax. :P

    I'm with you, Sam. I think Meguiar's is just about the best.

    You guys should try some "Starbrite" polish sometime. You'd be spoiled very quickly. No elbow grease necessary! ! !
