This is what I was referring to as glaze,use a product along these lines to polish the clear.The sand scratches from 2000 grit are hard to get out with a glaze,you'll want to use an actual "buffing compound" for that (has a little grit to it),then follow up with the glaze to polish out swirl marks.

I was not aware of an 85.5,do you mean 86.5? Personally I have found the 5M to be a more reliable engine,and the MK2's to be a really fun car.But on the other hand,all 5 of my MK2's rusted out to the point that they were unsafe to drive.If your MK2 is that rusty,might just be time to let it...

Norton works well too,as do MANY other brands.Just threw that out there as an example of the "grade" of compound to use.

Claybars are for stuff on top of the clear(sap,overspray,grime.)this will not remove imperfections IN the clearcoat.Buffing /polishing can be done the next day,it's the actual wax that can't be applied for some time(~6-8 weeks) The reason you shouldn't wax yet is because the solvents are still...

Haha,you posted it while I was typing it.

+1 on that,always wanted to learn that,I'm rather good at auto body repair,just not paintless. If anything just take the fenderwell plastic out for them to get at it easier.

Damn,poor Jay just gets it from all sides,sure does take it like a champ though. :sarcasm::biglaugh:

FTFY.:biglaugh: Looks like a clean little car,they can be fun in the turns,but normally a bit underpowered.

A deep,metallic pink might look OK,not ever gonna be my personal choice for color,but to each his own.

I'm pretty sure your correct,there are only 2 though I believe (if that is indeed what you are referring to)IIRC these are also the mounting point for the bracket that the interior panel clips to(right?).

Still didn't take too long to catch him.IMO it makes your car more impressive you outran him when he basically had one hell of a head start.Ahh,street racing,good times,good stuff.

Welcome to Supramania.What year Cressida are you thinking?

Open end wrench with the head cut off and welded at 90 degree angle to the handle,makes it real easy to reach it from underneath by yourself.
