This car is really cleaning up nicely.

Cleaning up that paint is gonna make a world of difference! Hard to believe what lies under some shitty paint surfaces sometimes!

Installed 20mm spacers in the rear



Finally got off my ass and started cleaning up the paint. Only got the hood today, but now I'm very motivated after seeing results.

Looks good, love the wheels!

If you plastidipped the rubstrips black as they're kinda faded and gave the paint a good clay, polish, and wax I think it might look even better and it wouldn't cost much either. Just a suggestion, can't wait to see more!

Got my pegasus wheels on. Spacers are sitting in the mailbox and coilovers go on next week.

How did u take off the side emblems on the fenders? They seem to have a glue on them that makes em stick real good to the fender besides the clip that clicks em on. I have to do this also but i dont really feel like bringing the inner fender out to pop em out from the inside or use something to pry them off from the outside and risk scratching my beautiful blue paint on my s70. Thanks for any input or advice!

dental floss and goof-off

I dont know much about professional compounds but ive gotten some good results with meguires ultimate compound and their maroon buffing pad.

Rubbing compound and a buffer.

Oh look, you're doing the Volvospeed Starter Pack.

Tints and HID's forthcoming?

Also, cut and polish that paint. 601 red is single stage so it'll come back.

No tint and possible projectors, buddy works for TRS.

Can you recommend a process or product? I've heard a few times now that 601 is single stage and can be brought back, but no clear answers as to what process will work best.

This.

Put some elbow grease into it
