Owner called me out to get the car ready for a show. He said it had been recently restored and was already really clean. I don't believe he's had any of his vehicles professionally detailed, mostly just keeps them up himself with dusters and QD's. Most of what he is his very minimally driven and he has a lot! 4 mid 60s Corvettes, three with 427s, one with a 327, plus a '59 with a dual quad 283, along with an L-78 396 '69 Camaro and '66 Chevelle, a '55 and '56 Chevy's, an early 60s bubble top Chevy with a 409 and an A12 440 6 pack Superbee. Not to mention his '41 Ford Truck and '07 Shelby. His L-36 427 Corvette and the Fairlane were show bound. The 'Vette was freshly restored and already on the truck.
Just a few of his toys.
The Fairlane was overall in decent shape, could use a full correction but he didn't seem that interested in getting that done right away due to time constraints. There were a few problem areas I polished hard though.
The engine and interior were both really clean. Interior was vacuumed then it and the engine were wiped down with an ONR dampened MF towel. No dressing, he wanted everything to appear period correct.
The rest of the paint had mostly light to moderate spider swirls, like I said it needs a full correction but it wasn't going to happen today.
ONR wash, Opti-Raser clay sponge
Spot polishing:
Meguiars #105 using an Optimum foam cutting pad and my PC 7424 XP on speed 6
Meguairs #205 using an Optimum foam cutting pad and my PC 7424 XP on speed 6
Whole car:
3M Ultrafina using a Meguiars yellow foam polishing pad and my PC 7424 XP on speed 6
3D HD Poxy Wax to seal
Optimum Metal Polish on the chrome
Armor All on tires/fenderwells
ONR at QD strength to clean glass
