I have a couple of garage queens I take to local shows and cruise on nice days. I became a big fan of Pinnacle Souveran as my LSP for the show/driving season after it was recommended by the seller of my original, low mileage black `61 Fleetwood with original lacquer paint. My routine is to do...

I recently picked up a nearly mint ‘95 MB E320 cabriolet as a nice Sunday driver. Happens to be the first convertible I’ve ever owned. The leather interior is immaculate, and while I’m a big fan of Leatherique products for restoration/deep cleaning old leather, and will probably give it a...

I have a `61 Caddy Fleetwood garage queen with 27k miles and mostly original lacquer paint, although I recently had some paintwork done on a door that had been repainted back in the day in a lacquer that did not quite match (not all blacks are the same). The match is great, but was done in 2...

`60 Eldorado garage queen. Once a year it gets the full "Perfect Shine" treatment- KAIO + a couple of coats of SG, usually topped with Pinnacle Souverain. Detail spray and occasional fresh cots of the Souverain keeps it pretty pretty during the interim. But I recently moved, and forgot I was...

Due to moving and COVID quarantine, I’m just now getting around to what is usually the “Spring detail” of my totally original ‘61 Cadillac’s black lacquer. Car is a garage queen; never wet, driven 1500 or so miles/year. So it got the M7 bath and a couple of coats of Souverain last April (2019)...

I have two garage queens, or metal mistresses, as the wife refers to them. Old Cadillacs; one is an all-original 26k time capsule with 60 year old original black lacquer; the other was repainted a few years ago with modern 2 stage paint. Both are garaged and come out only for local shows...

`61 Cadillac with original black lacquer paint, 26,000 orig. miles, garage queen. After its annual Springtime major detail with the M7 treatment etc. I topped it with P21, for which I was chastised here. I have since become a believer in Pinnacle Souverain, using it on my other garage queen...

I live in N. California and had to drive my original black lacquer garage queen `61 Cadillac today to have some work done. The shop is about 25 miles from the wildfires raging in Sonoma County, and between the trip and sitting at the shop, the car got a fine layer of ash dust. The car is...

Newbie here, although I`ve been obsessing about paint on my old cars for many years. I recently acquired a mint original mint `61 Cadillac with its original black lacquer. Guy I got it from, who won a number of awards with it, told me the only way to care for the paint is Megs #7 followed by...
