Thank You!!!! Your paint looks a little better than mine. I am trying to fix it perfectly but moving slowly.

 

two words: CLAY BAR! (+ polish + wax) Takes forever but works miracles! And smoother than a newborn Swedish baby's bum!

 

Well when I got it the wife and I spent 3 to 4 hours buffing it with compound. Then waxing it. But the front bumper is trashed and clear coat starting to peel on the back C-pillar.

 

When you figure out how to well and truly deal with the clear coat issues please let us know. I have clear coat problems on the top of the mirrors on the '94 and on the passenger's rear quarter on the Platinum that I think are left over from a bad repair at a body shop.

Since I blew a chunk of clear coat about the size of a silver dollar off of the rear quarter on the Platinum at the car wash I tried to feather the edges with some 600 wet/dry sandpaper (wet) and then I used (3M) rubbing compound and mirror glaze to clean it up. It is better but the platinum uses a three layer paint and the second layer came off with the clear coat so it sticks out as a bad repair. I have no clue as to howI can go about putting on a three layer paint as a spot repair.

I have the teal metallic paint on the '94 and I think I can just scrub up the top of the peeling areas with the wet/dry and then mask it off and put some new clear coat on it and then finish it off again with wet/dry and rubbing compound - mirror glaze - and wax.

I'mgood with mechanical things but body work and paint confound me every time.

how did you post that much writing? I can't get past one line.

 

I need to have a body shop look at mine. The clear coat coming off is very common on the Volvo's.
