More stuff at the warehouse, coming up soon will be the blue Dodge with the Italian coach body and the 1937 Packard. But this one was today's detail. 
 
Older repaint, owner has had the car 15 years and it was restore before he bought it. Definitely needed some polishing, budget was 2 steps so it's not perfect but still a substantial improvement. 
 

 
After compounding:
 

 
Half 'n half shot during compounding:
 

 
Half 'n half shot of the convertible top
 

 
ONR wash
Opti-Raser Pink (mild) to clay
Optimum Hyper Compound using a Rupes green cutting pad and Optimum orange foam waffle cutting pad on tighter spots with my Rupes 21 DA
3D HD Polish using a Meguiars yellow foam polishing pad and Rupes 21 DA
Optimum Power Clean at 3:1 dilution and ONR to clean the top
Opti-Seal to protect the paint
Armor All on tires/wheel wells
 

 

 

 

 

 

 
 
Most of the car is 90% or so corrected, some parts of the car, the trim would have to come off to allow me to safely buff those areas better so those spots are still so-so. But compared to how it looked, its night and day and the owner was very happy with what we were able to do and stay within his budget.
 
That car brought back memories... a close friend of mine (now long deceased) had one just like that, his had a black convertible top.


Nice work!

Thanks! Coincidentally, the owner is thinking of replacing the top with a black one.
