    I spent 12 hours on my jamaica yellow 5 door with paint restorer when i first bought it as it was seriously faded.... all by hand.

    The old SR used to be cleaned 3 times a week and polished once a week... even in winter.

    The mondeo of love has been cleaned once when I got it. Possibly once through a car wash too.

    My gf's mom used to polish her old galant so much that it went through to the primer.

    Use megs stuff, their stage one cut only takes off a miniscule layer of paint - the polish and wax don't damage the paint either. Unlike T-Cut and friends which chop half your top coat away.
