    Yep I love the AIO before and After looks those paints seldom have swirls on them from all the oxidation and no clear.

    WoW!

    This gives me some confidence that my car may actually look like something once I get all done with it.

    Looks great! Man, that pad sure had a ton of paint on it. AIO is stronger than most people realize.

    Thanks.

    The pad was a YELLOW cutting pad. The rags I used were covered with paint. Good thing I have a separate laundry room in my house that`s just for the detailing rags... ;-)

    Nice work. I have not seen a fiesta w/o rust holes in a long time.

    It`s my understanding that Ford Fiesta (not to be confused with "Festiva" was only sold in the United States until 1980, and they only came in certain colors. Therefore, these cars have become quite `rare` and `in demand` among certain people in The US.

    Having said that, .... I have no idea why the owner wanted the oxidation removed - he`s not selling it, drives it every day, etc... Perhaps he simply wanted it to look better and protect the paint...
