1963 chevy impala back to life

[alloutdetailing]

One of my dealers contacted me about a trade in that just came and asked if I would be able to make her shine again? I told him I will try my best and see what can be done.



When I first saw the car you could tell the paint was extremely thin. The whole car felt like 220 grit sand paper. I honestly did not think this car would be able to be buffed and polished. When I arrived this is what I saw.

As you can see there is not one single ounce of clear on this poor car.



Here are two quick 50/50 shots. B4 final pass

Ok here are all the after shots This is by no means a show finish.

Thanks for looking guys!

HATE the wheels....horrible...

Incredible! I love it! Thanks for sharing!



(I agree with the wheel comment. I also dislike that darn steering wheel)

Haha that seemed to be the topic of choice everytime someone say the car.:think:

That is an incredible turn-around. Single stage paints are awesome for that. Great job! I agree with everyone - the wheels and steering wheel are nasty - they just do not fit with what that car should look like.

Although I agree that the style of the wheel is not my preference, I understand the style that the owner was going for.



I mean it is a '63 Impala. :wavey

process ??

 

[alloutdetailing]

Hey sorry about this I never noticed that you posted about the process.





Nothing really special. Just wash and buffed with the rotory and finished off with some 105 as best I could. Then I applied Topaz carnuba wax from Ardex. I could not clay this car since the finish was like sandpaper. Sucked cause there was sun out all day and no shade anywhere. The
