Are you a Meguiars #7 fan?

Absolutely. It's quite a process, with several compounds, polishes, and pads along the way. But, #7 is fantastic with single stage paint. I believe I had about 50 hours into the paint on that green '71. All the stripes were masked, high spots taped, etc, to keep from wearing through. It's been several years since I polished that car and it hasn't faded back out. My intent here wasn't to hijack this '72 thread, but just to point out that the paint could likely be saved and look pretty damn good.
