Oxidation/Scratches/Bird Drop Etching/Waterspots/You name it was present on this car even after wash and clay and took some serious time and elbow grease with the wool pad to massage the paint back out, despite the rock chips evident in photos the paint came out great:

Default Sweet.
What flavor of AVUS are those in the "after" shots?

I have a Lago 90q20V for you to do, LOL.

Default <applause soundtrack>Nice work and thanks for sharing the sequence in the finish restore job!
The end result offers hope for similar specimens we so often see roaming the streets looking like they are far too close to their graves.
