Rasky's Auto Detailing
Been a while since I've posted some of my work again.... 
First I have to give thanks to everyone who referred the owner to me over on AGO. I also have to thank the owner for giving me the opportunity to work on his baby and for making the long trip down from Canada. There is a really great story to this cars history but it's been a couple months since I did the car and unfortunately I've forgotten a lot of the details. I believe he bought it new, used it in his wedding, eventually sold it and many years later found it again and restored it to the condition you see now. He wasn't really looking for the same car either, it just happened to be listed for sale at the time he was looking and a friend mentioned seeing it....sounds like fate to me!
Car as it arrived.
Overall condition was actually in great shape! The owners main concern was a bird dropping stain and some water spot etching on the roof. It had been 7-8 years since it was painted and I pointed out some fine swirls and light shrink areas. I had also found several long, straight, moderate scratches on the horizontal panels...anyone want to guess what those are from? After looking the car over we agreed to hit the more noticeable areas with some wet sanding and do a 1-step correction after spot hitting the deeper defects.
Shrink
More shrink and light bird poo stain
1500/3000 grit sanding via my new Mirka Ceros DA sander and by hand around the fender. Gotta thank Kevin Brown for getting the Ceros to me!
Light swirls were hard to capture
After with Fenix LED
After with Brinkmann
I had really hoped to get some nice sun shots when we were all done but this was the weather I had.....we waited a while but ended up loading it back up in the rain.
Finished shots...these don't do any justice for the color and it looks amazing in the sun!
This was a Canadian spec car so you may notice some differences over the US models.
Did I mention that it had a 427 with over 630hp and does the 1/4 in the high 10's? (Owner still has the 396 too)
After loading it up and drying it off in the trailer the rain stopped! Go figure!!! All dried down and covered back up for the long ride home.
Thanks for looking,
