Lancia Musa - "buttery" black paint nightmare

[AutoSpaClub]

Welcome

For a few days of my vacation I dealt with a five years old Lancia Musa. The interior has been thoroughly cleaned and protected by the best cosmetics I have in my collection (according to manufacturers protection should work for over a year). From the outside, the car was washed several times using different products to get rid of everything "clung" to the paint over the years - metal particles, asphalt, tar, insects, bird droppings, etc. When the car was really clean I started paint (in very bad shape) correction. This process took me two days because the paint was terribly difficult to process, behave a little like a butter . Even a little stronger wiping leaves a micro scratches as well as polishing using the most sensitive polishes and tools. The final effect is far from ideal, but is 10 times better than it was.
