buffed the RS looks hella better!

so i decided to try to bring out the red a little but on my 91 RS. i dunno why i waited so long lol. but i went with this stuff called COLOR X by meguiars. dam good stuff! my car was very very oxidized especially on the roof, hood and rear. but dam it sure did bring out some shine after that! i had to apply a few coats on most parts and took me about two days, mostly because i waited for the sun to set a bit so it was nice and shady, cool outside. but i recommend this if anyone has a straight body like mines but just needs a good buff to get er goin. i mean its not show room quality of course, but it looks waaay better. i also used mothers power ball (yellow one) and it helped out good. i gotta get some pics up. also if anyone else has used a similar product with good results let me know and feel free to share please.

Re: buffed the RS looks hella better!

well i do have some pictures...i posted up a bunch when i did a rear end swap post up here, it was long as heck and you can see big time that my maro was all faded lol. if you wanna check it out, i believe it was called "complete rear end swappage" you can view them there. i had more on my comp but my harddrive got wiped out and no more old pics. but ill post a generous amount up, just not today i have 24hr duty. so monday hopefully.

Re: buffed the RS looks hella better!

ColorX is a very potent over the counter paint cleaner, no doubt about it. I work for Meguiar's and we love seeing this kind of feedback, so thanks for the comments. Glad it worked out for you so well.
