I need to work it some more, but thanks to some BIG HELP from my buddy Glenn tonight, the car is looking much better than it has in YEARS!
Here's a couple of pics from this morning when I popped the garage open - WOW!

I'll get some pics of the products I used up later.
Right now I'm breaking for lunch, I picked up a more agressive yellow pad this morning and have been working the trunk area (FUCK LUGGAGE RACKS!).
hopefully I get some time to work my `97 a bit, I'm entering both cars in a mustang show tomorrow so I'll get some better pics

some pics from today out in the sun
I didn't have a chance to get to a point where I'd say I finished, as there's no wax or sealer on it at all in these pics, just optimum compound, and I still have a ton of hand work to do around the luggage rack.
So she's back into the garage and I'll be doing what I can after work this week to try and finish up to the point where I can throw on wax + sealer, so it doesn't happen again.
btw the scratches along the front of the hood are from a bra being on the car, don't put a fucking bra on anything!!!
