before pic:



Start by pouring some of your solvent onto one of the soft rags and gently scrubbing the faded areas. Dry them with the towel.



Fill a large bucket with warm water and use the claybar to scrub the whole area. This will lift off any upper-level stains or blemishes.



Use the compound with the buffer and go over the whole area again. Repeat a couple times for best results. When finished, hand wax to desired gloss.
