This is a very sweet '56 Chevy that belongs to a good friend of mine. It turned out pretty nice for only having about 4hrs to work on it… and let me tell you there is a lot of surface here! :wow:

I started out with a thorough two bucket wash and claying. I didn't have the time to really get down and dirty with it so I opted for the black CCS 5.5” pad on the PC7424 (speed 4-5) with Poorboys Professional Polish to start things off. I also added Professional Polish 2 to the mix in a few areas to get some of the marring that I couldn't quite get with just Pro Polish. Wow.. That really made a nice turnaround. I didn't expect anything less from the Pro Polish line though. I then pulled out another black CCS pad and hit it with Black Hole Glaze at about speed 3. I also touched up the wheels real quick with PP2 and a foam ball. I topped it all off with a coat of Natty's Red Paste Wax and this thing really lit on FIRE!!! :drool:

That's one of those cars that give you goosebumps. Absolutely beautiful, and awesome job on it. You wouldn't happen to know what the name of that color is do you? I love it.
 
Thanks guys! This car is definitely his pride and joy. As far as the color, I will have to ask him. I'm not sure if it's a special red.
 
The results speak highly of both your skills and the Poorboy's Pro Polish. Amazing work especially in such a short time frame. I take it there's something special under the hood as well?
 
Tyler...awesome job !!!!! I love 55-57 Chevys and dreamed of owning one after the 66-67 Novas. I love the Torque Thrust II's on it !!!

I just fount out the color. It's called Flame Red and is from the 1991 Chevy Lumina's. I have to say, the '56 sports it a little better than the Lumina! :lol2:
