Non-hour rule, but probably would buff out okay.

While waiting in the 2.5 hour long line at the state public health office to get my brain proked for the Covids via my nose, I spent some time in front of this Talon this morning. I can’t remember the last time I saw a Talon in person. This one is clearly sporting an older and crappy respray, but the paint was intact. The horizontal surfaces were faded to an orange-ish oxidation, but I couldn’t help but notice that a day spent compounding and polishing would probably yield a respectable looking old car out the paint were one inclined to invest the time in it.

No Covid results yet, but I feel fine, have no symptoms or fever five days after direct exposure to someone who tested positive.

Hope you stay healthy

I can’t think the last time I saw a talon or anything else eagle branded.

Oh non, you remind me that i saw yesterday that the clear coat on my A3 was getting terrible quite fast on the passenger side of the roof, poor old car :

And that unfortunately won’t buff out :(

And it has not focused on the worst part.

Talon looks pretty good for its age. Clearly well cared for for much of its life, possibly a neglectful third owner but I reckon the current one loves it.

And is that a GMC Jimmy next to it? Looks way better than it has any right to.

That is a Jimmy. Had sunburned horizontal surfaces and a few small parking by feel scars on the corners from the old lady that got out of it, but yes, it was in remarkably good shape otherwise. I figured Oppo would probably notice it.
