As most of you all already know we bought BLUE for an everyday driver and the previous owner surely did NOT take care of THIS car! I don't believe I have ever seen so many scratches on any car, especially one this new! Now I could surely expect this as this was, to him, just an everyday family car and with small children and 127,500 miles surely it wasn't gonna look new.
Yesterday I spent most of the afternoon buffing out the hood and roof trying to remove the scratches with compound and my new high speed buffer that Tee just bought for me. I was actually shocked that the majority of them came out pretty good and you have to look pretty close to see where they were. Then I waxed and buffed with a polisher buffer (much lower speed). Hopefully and maybe today, I'll get to start on all the side panels and rear hatch!
I did NOT take any pictures as I know the before and after pictures would have looked pretty much the same; was hard to see scratches in pictures.
