Okay so the Redonkulara has been rather neglected and after allllll this time working on the engine, brakes, and suspension restoring them to decent functionality; I figure the paint is the next step
So I gave her a base wash with some cheapy cheapy Meguiars wash just to clean off the dirt that must've been on there for YEARS.
Post wash
The pics aren't the greatest but you might be able to spot some dirt on the front bumper still. I soaped her 3 times and she still has some ingrain stains.
Used the 2 bucket method of course and by the time I was done, before the wheels, I had crude oil in those buckets it was that bad.
But anyways I deviate. I was researching for a good, real bang for the buck cleaning solution that would help get that white restored to it's brilliance.
So here I am looking through various detailing websites when I stumble across this kit by Meguiars.

Their "Brilliant Solution Paint Restoration kit" and it seemed to be exactly what I was looking for. Hell for only 28 bucks it seemed like a steal
I was going to buy it from said website but the shipping was outrageous so I get to googling and find out that the walmart next town over has the kits for 22 bucks!
So I go and pick it up.
The Kit includes:
16 oz. Meguiars Gold Class Wash
25 g. Meguiars Smooth Surface Clay Bar
8.5 oz. Meguiars Quik Detailer
10 oz Meguiars Ultimate Compound
Meguiars Soft Foam Applicator Pad
Meguiars Supreme Shine Microfiber towel
6 oz Meguiars Gold Class Carnauba Plus
Meguiars Soft Foam Applicator Pad
Meguiars Supreme Shine Microfiber towel
And I was planning on using it today but this fucking rain is messing with my shit so it's going to wait till either tomorrow or friday.
This will be my first time ever using a kit like this and I hope it does the trick. I'll be sure to take plenty of before and afters.
