Subject:Rubbing Compound

After mulling over on what to do with my dull looking paint job, I took
an afternoon and went over the whole van with some Turtle Wax Heavy Duty
Rubbing Compound.  All I can is WOW!!  There was so much oxidation on there
that now it look almost new, except for minor seem rust.  The next step is
to apply some Meguiar's(sp?) Wax/Cleaner and give her a good shine.
    Just when I was mulling a strip down and a paint job, I feel like a got
a few more years out of this coat.

The moral of the story.....before you go to lay out a bunch of cash to make
yourself feel better, try taking an afternoon and just rub it for awile and
see how it comes out.
