First and probably LAST wax job

[TinyGiant]

when i had my first new car (when i was 16) it was a ford escort sedan. i used the 3 step mothers on it every other weekend ..usually took me 3-4 hours to get it done.. probably a good thing i only had it for a year or so lol probably would have hand polished the paint right off it

This is what my Escort looks like without a single wax job in 18 years!
Looks great huh... Toughest car I have ever owned - it just won't die!

Anaconda,
Was the drivers door ever repainted?
I bet you could still get that paint to shine with some serious elbow grease!

Yep, almost every square inch was repainted at one time or another. There isn't one square inch of the car that isn't scratched or dented. Needless to say, I didn't care where in the Walmart parking lot that I parked. Always left with window down and key in it. Nobody would ever steal it or give it a second look.
