Hi there
Mate at work recently purchased a Toyota Celica GT4 and its paint work was rather tatty, some burning where someone had either mis-used a polisher on it or taken a brillo pad too it and generally the paint looking dated.
So we did the following steps:-
1. Hose car down.
2. Snowfoam the car.
3. Hose car down.
4. Wash car with Meguiars NXT Car wash.
5. Dry car with microfibre.
6. Apply Meguiars STEP 1 paint cleaner and in some areas go over with Meguiars scratch X first.
7. Buff off.
8. Apply Meguiars STEP 2 paint polish.
9. Buff off.
10. Apply DoDo Blue Velvet Wax.
11. Buff off.
12. Autoglym wheel sealant, tyre dressing and give car a final going over with microfibre checking for any missed bits.
3hrs later, sunburnt and knackered here are the results:-
Yes it was hard work but look at the results, remember this car is over 15 years old and apart from the odd bit of tidying up the paint has come up very well and the burn marks on the paint have more or less completely come out and can only be noticed if you know where they are.
I am happy with results and the owner seemed very happy, almost in dis-belief that it came up so well.
Now just keep it clean Chris and get a coat of collonite 476s on in a week or two to lock all that shine in.
Enjoy it and when you next wash it you will be amazed at how easy it is to wash off. Hope you enjoyed the ride in the 911 too.

Really nice job there, keep telling myself to do something similar to my car but I never get the time.
