Restoring old paint on my 73 Mercury Cougar / Wet sand and polish / Buffing old paint

I try to restore the very neglected paint on my 73 Cougar. First I wet sand the whole car then use my new Harbor Freight polisher to bring it back.

When I was a kid my Grandpa had a BEAUTIFUL '75 XR-7, white vinyl top on gorgeous black, Magnums, white interior, and a 400. He sold it to my Auntie in around 1997 and unfortunately it was written off not long after. Anyway, great channel! Found ya through @DD Speed Shop. Cheers from Alberta, Canada!

I had a 73 Montego MX put old cougar bucket seats in.

Love these Cougars... Have been watching your videos all the way through. Are you selling the car? I would be interested.

[@wallysworkin823]

Actually sold the car already to buy a 1972 Maverick project. I'll be making videos on that soon.

Look lot better

[@1972mercurycougar]

Take that stick on, protective body side molding off, with a heat gun please!!

[@jverrelli1]

Looks great, how long did the process take to do the entire car, and will you polish the glass?

[@wallysworkin823]

It took about an hour and a half to wet sand and probably a total of 4 hours spread out over a couple days. I did 2 rounds of polishing and one final hand wax.

Untouched is nicer

Green on a cougar is so wrong sorry. I hate green that cougar came in medium turquoise and it was sharp.

[@wallysworkin823]

I don’t disagree lol, not a fan of green. They look great in red also.
