hi guys,
I was doing a bunch of reading on wax and what to do to bring back the shine on my silver 67. The finish has always looked a little dull and I think my dad only waxed it and never stripped off the old wax.
So today I got a clay bar and macguiars ultimate 3 step since I was doing it by hand and all the feed back seemed pretty good. I was testing it on the hood.
I did the clay bar first and it took a lot of junk off. Then I did the compound just like the directions said. The applicator was grey by the time I was done. Then the polish....applicator was grey as well. Then the wax... I was doing this all in the garage, not in sun light.
Well, the results are worse than when I started. There are some chalky spots and the finish is more dull then the fender I never touched. Any ideas on what I did wrong? The paint job is at least 40 yrs old and would like to make it look better.
Thanks
Brian
