Rasky's Auto Detailing
This car was painted about 15 years ago and it was definitely in need of a good polish after years of washing and dusting off. The owner is actually and old friend from high school who lived up the street from me when he was restoring it...I can still remember when he brought it back from the paint shop....always loved this year Vette and Candy Red is my all time favorite color...I was very excited to work on this car! :)





Process:



Wash - Megs Hyper Wash, 2BM, Lambs wool mit

Tires - OPC and Tuf-Shine brush (owner wanted no dressing)

Wheels - OPC and separate wash mit

Surface prep - Speedy prep towel, Glide for lube

Paint correction - FG400 on the Rupes 21 with Megs MF Finishing pads followed by HD Polish on the Rupes. Some areas required an extra pass with FG400.

Pant Protection - Blackfire Wet Diamond

Chrome - Mothers Chrome Polish

Glass - Megs D120

I don't think it's an issue really. It may just look lower than it actually is sitting in the grass. He never mentioned having any issues and he drives this thing a lot in the summer. ;)
