Just a few pics (56K WARNING)

[BuccaneersFan]

I finally get the time to wash and polish the old girl up. I figured she deserved 2 coats of wax since she just rolled over the 100,000 mile mark.

The pics below where taken with a 1 mp camera so they don't look as good as in person, my Dad has the good 5.1 mp camera with him in Tennessee. Looks pretty good IMA, especially considering the 10+ year old paint job.










And here is a pic of one of the exhaust tips, its been about 3 months since I sanded them down. I just polished them up with some metal polish and they as good as new.

[BuccaneersFan]

Whats wrong with yours? Besides the smashed up hood.

Mine aren't but then again I never did coat them will anything.

Looks awesome Bucs! My front end is so beat up. You can see the black bumper underneath. Looks like yours is flawless.

P.S. that's that 2 piece sun visior thing piss you off? I had one that I couldn't use it was such a pain to use.

The silver paint is still in real good shape, but the paint on the black part is peeling quite a bit. I don't know why it was ever painted. I would have just left it the same as the black stuff on the sides at the bottom and then it could've just been armoraled or something.

lol, haven't had any problems with the two peice sun shade. Yeah at first it's kind of hard to get the hang of folding it up but after a while it gets real easy. I think it fits a lot better then most of the traditional kind.

I got the twist to close thing, but trying put one side, get it up, then try the other side, but the first side when fall...

Yea, the black part on mine is going to but not as bad as the rest.

Well mine has the tint covering the entire back window but it doesn't look that much better because of the dot-matrix thing going on. It usually bubbles off and requires constant maintenance. A lot of shops will just avoid this and not worry about you coming back in a week.

The dots make it impossible to properly tint..its the same with any car.

Looks great Buc...nice to see older Classic Aurori in such good shape!

[oldsauroraman1]

The tinting is really sharp!

[BuccaneersFan]

When I bought it, the tinting had already been done, I would have probably got it a little darker, especially considering I live in the "Sunshine State."

mines just not that silver looking, most of the time it looks almost like the gold color, i think i have to nano-wax it and all that. i'm still tryin' to find a place to tint my windows at a resonable price, the guy i had do two of them didn't do a very good job well, i guess also cause its hard to tint windows outside in florida, cause of the humidity and heat.

[BuccaneersFan]

Yeah, maybe you should do the acid wash thing that's supposed to remove any built up layers of wax, then use some polishing compound and then put a couple coats of wax on.

[Letitroll98]

The car looks great Bucsfan. The color goes well with all that FL stucco and white concrete look, very complimentary. Do you use an acrylic wax?

I like the two piece sunshields. My has a Vincent Van Gogh painting on it.

[BuccaneersFan]

I use a polish called Astro Shield, it doesn't contain any wax. My family has used it for years. My grandma used to buy it by the case. Here is the web site: www.astropolish.com/

[stevensolds]

Hmm maybe i should use a sunshade? Never though about it before.

[BuccaneersFan]

It will save your dashboard from getting destroyed by the sun and also your front seats.

[stevensolds]

bah too late by now isnt it? Im just gonna get tints.

I just like to jump in and fire that mutha up, and haul some butt.

[Rora99]

i definitely use a sunshade any time my car is outside, even at night. hey bucsfan, i have that same license plate on my other car:)

It would have saved your steering wheel too (if it wasn't too late).

[stevensolds]

I know..i thought about that. It was like that when i got the car. What a shame, cause if i had that car all that time i couldve garaged it like now. So should i get a sunshade? And how much did you pay for yours...

[BuccaneersFan]

The one I have cost like 9.99.

[Rora99]

yeah, im from florida but stationed in missery(oops i mean missouri) but im coming down aug 11th thru 16th, probably hit up siesta key in sarasota, ive been wanting to take the wife there, i love that beach!
