    This car was painted about 15 years ago and it was definitely in need of a good polish after years of washing and dusting off. The owner is actually and old friend from high school who lived up the street from me when he was restoring it...I can still remember when he brought it back from the paint shop....always loved this year Vette and Candy Red is my all time favorite color...I was very excited to work on this car! :)


    Process:

    Wash - Megs Hyper Wash, 2BM, Lambs wool mit
    Tires - OPC and Tuf-Shine brush (owner wanted no dressing)
    Wheels - OPC and separate wash mit
    Surface prep - Speedy prep towel, Glide for lube
    Paint correction - FG400 on the Rupes 21 with Megs MF Finishing pads followed by HD Polish on the Rupes. Some areas required an extra pass with FG400.
    Pant Protection - Blackfire Wet Diamond
    Chrome - Mothers Chrome Polish
    Glass - Megs D120

    The metallic in the color made it hard to get good pictures...

    Great car, great project, great work, to small amount of pictures ;)
    Really nice to watch American old-timers being detailed. There are so many boring cars here, like another Porsche, another Lambos, another BMW etc etc , so it's nice to see something classy !

    More project like this here ! BMW, Lambos, Porches are boooooooooring. ;)
