3D 425 Correction/Sealer brought it back to life

[walterjay]

18 Year old finish on a relatives car that was given to me. Car had probably never seen wax and seldom washed. Finish all intact and absolutely grey with no depth. Quick synthetic clay and a once over with Griots orange correction pad and 3D.
It brought out the depth and glossy new car like finish. Also cleaned yellowed headlamp lenses with it. Still have to clean the wheels tomorrow. A very satisfying job.

Hood, fender, and bumper cover all look like different shades of paint

The color is consistent throughout. The color difference in the pic is due to the different angles of reflection of shop lights.

I think those Hyundais were some of their best years.

The Silver on Sonata did that in natural light also.

This was mine with 13 yrs / 220k and no garage ever. Lots of washes/waxing/OCI's.

Finish is flat and grimy.

The3.3 engine is bulletproof. Have a daughter with over 180,000 miles on hers.

Nice job. And you painted or replaced the nasty wiper arms.

How many miles?

129K Other than the exterior not cared for the way I would, the interior is immaculate and I have a stack of about 50 service records for maintenance and repair from their local mechanic.

Yes, those were the years when they were about forty percent as good as Toyotas.

Is that the new version of speed? Haven’t heard of it.

Ouch! I don’t remember it being $55 for a 32oz bottle. It’s been a while since I bought it though. The stuff works well. I was searching the garage because I swore I still had some. Wanted to do my wife’s Prius.
