In order to begin the restoration on my 1981 DeLorean, I've had to move the Monaro in to storage for a while. Before doing so I thought about a professional clean, but realised it was probably false economy in the short term (although it is something I intend to do).

So, I thought I'd "three stage" the car myself; post wash, a paint clean, polish and wax (around 3+ hours just on the bodywork). The result is pretty good, but not what a I intend when I have more time (and the tools!).

Still, she's looking good I think.

Hopefully I can make good enough progress on the DeLorean that'll she be home sooner rather than later, but time and money will tell!

I guess that when the Delorean is done, you can always return to the time the Monaro was shiny. wink

What, yours didn't come with the optional flux capacitor? eek

This was a Meguiars kit I've had a while. Has four bottles with applicators and whatnot. I can dig out the exact stuff when I'm home if you'd like.
