What wax are you using? Buffer or by hand?

Hand wash first with Meguires gold class car wash shampoo and conditioner with a micro fibre cloth not a sponge, then blow dry, then use the meguires quick detailer, then the wax as below. All done by hand. Quite laborious but worth it.

Reminds me of my first 72 Cutlass S. It was that same color and I also loved to spend hours making it into a blank canvas. My Dad once said I polished it so much I was going to wear the paint off it. But it looked good! Almost like it was moving while it was standing still. Nice work!

I agree, looks great. How old is the paint?
