Detailing Options

[05SilverTRD]

I am going to be detailing my Dad's 69 Corvette pretty soon. The car is LeMans Blue with original paint. it only has 33,xxx original miles on it. Beautiful car, 427/435hp. He bought it original in late 1968 when he got home from Vietnam.

Here are my questions. The car has original paint and I am afraid of taking too much off. The car has some parts where the paint is really thin ( where the lines on the car are sharp ). According to my Dad, they never had a lot of paint on them, even from the factory.

Here are the products I am going to have available -

Clay Bar
Klass AIO
Four Star UPP
SSR 2.5
SSR 1
PB Professional Polish
PwC (BLue)
Natty's (Blue)
Meguiars #7
Meguiars NXT

All of this will be by hand with microfiber. The wheels are the original steel wheels with a beauty ring and hub cap. I have Mothers Aluminum Polish for those.

Any suggestions as to what products and what to watch out for?

hey greys60,

four start UPP and the Megs NXT are both sealant waxes. out of both of them i really recommend the UPP more than the NXT. one thing UPP last longer than NXT.

i have both NXT and UPP and UPP just beats NXT. in addition, UPP provides more slickness and a more wet looking look. apply four star UPP.
