Here is a full restore of a 1962 MGA MKII 1600 roadster that is being prepped for sale. The car had been repainted some time ago and needed to be correctly polished to give it's full effect. Nothing went over looked on this car, all the chrome was treated, as well as the leather, wood, glass, etc. Without further adieu, here are the pics.

Process:
Wash/Degrease - Poorboy's Citrus Wash
Menzerna 203 - orange
Menzerna PO85RD - Green
Blackfire Wet Diamond - Blue
Pure Carnuaba Wax

Chrome:
Wash/Degrease - Poorboy's Citrus Wash
Clay
P21S Polishing Soap
P21S Finish Restorer

Overall Before:

Chrome Before:

Chrome After:

Marc After (getting hit in the nuts):

Here you can see the paint after the degrease/wash:

A few 50/50 shots of the correction:

Some reflection shots after the correction:

A few interior after shots:

And the finished car:

Enjoy! Please comment
