Used all Meguiars products on both cars, Mustang got claybar, polisher applied deep crystal paint cleaner, polish and Gold Class wax followed by another coat of gold Class done by hand.

Not bad for original 1996 paint

My favorite pic of the day

Explorer was also done with same products less the claybar and polish step (newer white paint didn't need too much help, just the paint cleaner alone was enough)

I wish I had some pics of this before, the paint had very small yellow/orange dots in it, no idea what they were but after I hit it with the cleaner step the rear looked smooth as glass

the dots on the tail gate are little rust specs from brake dust debris and road debris

Makes sense, just annoyed me to see them and was glad to be rid of them once and for all

They were tiny but the white paint made them show up that much more

Yeah, I could feel it before I hit it with the paint cleaner, ended up doing the area twice but that took all the visible spots away and made it feel nice and smooth
