Body shop said I can wax the new paint after a few days, so I just used Turtle Wax Graphene Flex wax there. On the rest of the car I started with Meguiars Iron Decon along with a clay mitt. Then polished with Meguiars 110 followed by the Turtle. Interior next.

That looks really good! A well maintained car can last a lifetime.

I see you are into restoring classics now eh? JK, looks great! Should sell fast to a discerning buyer.

Like I said in the other thread, I'd buy it if I was local (and needed another daily driver). That's the kind of car I miss most in today's marketplace - 2-doors, simple proven drivetrain, durable cloth interior, no AWD, etc. A friend had a '91 4-door back in the 90s and it ran well for 300K miles and we'd take it on road trips getting 35 MPG with it. Sure the Duke engine was noisy but you can always turn up the radio.

I had that model - what an unrefined piece of gabagool that was.

I always liked Grand Ams . Are cars exposed to salt where you live ?

 

[atikovi]

Only if you drive in or after a snow or ice event.

Good job on the rims and headlights too.

Has paint tech really advanced that much? I'd have given it at least a few weeks before putting anything on new paint.

It's 32 years old and looks great. I would say it qualifies as a classic. My idea of a classic has changed a little since I've been watching the Rare Classic Cars and Automotive History channel on YouTube. It seems like 1991 was no more than 10 years ago.

Headlights are glass.

Looks good. What do you think it’s worth?

 

[atikovi]

I'd think at least $4000.

Term “classic” is being used a little loosely here don’t you think lol

Anyways @atikovi looks like a good job someone likely loves those and would like a prime example

Very similar wheels that my 1988 Formula Firebird had.

At one point did GM have an issue with white cars and the paint peeling off?

They still do, on fleet vehicles

Looks great. I’ll say it again though…get closer to the subject when taking photos!

They were on my 1st gen Saturn, too. "Guide" branded. What happened, did we lose a war?

Probably a buck cheaper to make out of plastic.
