[QUOTE=KeBo]I spent about 10 hours this weekend sprucing up the 81. My typical spring cleaning for all my cars goes like this for the exterior.. Wash/Clay/Wash/Wax..... The guy at the shop recommended to use the Meguires 3 stage cleaner/polish/wax. I thought my car looked good before. HOLY SMOKE! The paint looks like its dripping wet! I could not believe the difference and most important, went on and off with no elbow grease. Terrific ROI on this product. All 3 stages took me about 90 - 120 minutes. It was a 50 degree day and overcast. BTW, the car is beige. Just mentioning because I've used products that worked better on different colors... Regards! Kevin.. [/QUOTE]
Post pics! I cannot wait to try it on my White 70. Sounds like it might be great for light colors.

Adam, sounds like you haved some sanding grit under the paint. On my 75 when they painted it, they didn't clean it the way it was supposed to be cleaned & what you discribe is just what mine felt like, it was behind the rear window. I made them repaint the whole car. I'm getting ready now to have my 68 stripped with baking soda, won't hurt the fiber glass at all, & helps take out any imputities in the bare glass.

TRY USING A CLAY BAR FIRST BEFORE USING HARSH CHEMICALS.

Adam, sure glad it's not under the paint. Hope the color sanding works good.
