No wagon envy anymore!

Hi, my name is Chris- been lurking for a while. I know a few of the Florida guys and have met others over the years. I have had my 95' SS forever and wanted a wagon for years and this past Saturday that became a reality in the form of a 1991 Oldsmobile Custom Cruiser. The highlights; 104,000 miles, good interior, and a straight body. The not so good; I don't think the car was washed in the last 6 or 7 years:( . I'm trying to bring it back, but we'll see.

Welcome. Maybe the dirt protected the paint from the FL sun.

https://s1334.photobucket.com/user/OOC_and_a_SS/library/Magic%20erasedI tried various compounds and pads, but didn't have too much improvement. I had an idea and after an eight pack of magic erasers, I got this: No wagon envy anymore! Magic%20erased

That's coming along rather nicely. Glad you're saving that OCC.

Never thought of using those erasers on a car before,turned out great.Did you use anything with the erasers like compounds or cleaners?

Nope, just water. Smile

I did some looking on the web and most of the "experts" agreed the erasers equal around 3500 grit. My paint was in such bad shape I felt there was nothing left to lose. I'm also blacking out the b nd c pillars with plasti-dip.
