Making old paint look new again.
My Yugo was a little rough after sitting in a junkyard for some years I really like the car, and wanted it to look good again. Included are pictures of the results of products I have used to improve my paint. The images are large, about a meg. I cropped them down from seven megs.
Here is the car before I washed it.

Wash was performed with only a mitt, water, and liquid laundry detergent. The less aggressive you are with the paint, the better the results.
Here is the left side in progress.

At the rear is the result of the wash, the door shows the results of cleaning with a detailing clay, and the front fender has been treated with Meguiar's #7 show car glaze.
Finally, one side finished and waxed:

I waxed with Mother's California Gold wax. The brand of wax is unimportant, the composition of the wax is. The thing you have to have is caranuba wax, preferably one that dries hard. There's a UK based brand called Dodo Juice, I don't know if you see their products in Serbia. They have some waxes that look good too. When you go looking for a wax, it should look like a candle, not grease.
If you look closely you can see the reflection of my service truck in the paint. I haven't decided what to do to clean up the ground effects yet. They are fairly sunblasted. After I finish the whole car, I will go over the glass again. I initially cleaned it with #0000 steel wool, but I intend on using a product called Invisible Glass after I wash them again.

I still have the whole right side, the roof and the gate to do.
