So finally, I got the chance to start with this project I mentioned
before in this thread:
1970 Ford Mustang Fastback Mach1
I took some pictures out of that topic:
So it was time to get the job done and brought down my stuff:
This is what I did at day1 ( I washed the car 2 day's in front ):
* Masked the car off, so glad I did
* Clayed the whole car
* Made a test spot with #80 and a W8006 Polishing Pad and it didn't had any effect at all
* Made a test spot with #83 and a clean W8006 Polishing Pad
and that had a bit more effect on the light swirls but was clearly
not heavy enough, but that was all I got, and I didn't want to use
my W7006 Cutting Pad on the finish cause Meguiar's and a lot of
you guys don't recommend it, so i didn't take any chances to ruin
the paint
* I polished the whole car with this combo and wiped it off with
some Ultimate wipes:
Here I have some pic's from these steps:
Starting masking off the car:
This me working on the car in the afternoon:
I took a break and had some time to take more pic's from a different view:
Here is the result from a full day's hard work:
Day 2, busy schedule so I started early ( again ) lot's to do:
* Putting a coat of #21 first so it could " cure " a couple of hours
( I know up front that I hadn't had the time to do the #80 first
)
* Cleaned the tires with some house hold degreasser
* Put on the Endurance Tyre Gel, so it could " cure " to
* Took of all the masking tape and news paper and stuff
* Time to work on all that chrome, with my All Metal Polysh ( great stuff )
* Now I had some " problem areas to take care off, like the decal
( sticker ) on the hood, I decided to use my GC Trim Detailer ( 2x )
and finished it off with #21 and that went OK
* Now I had to do the the black plate " thing "
on the rear window, cause I didn't know any thing about this item and it's paint
so i decided to do this by hand with #83 and followed by #21
* Same thing on the back wing #83 / #21 by hand
* Cleaned the windows inside and out with the Nxt Glass Cleaner
I really love this stuff
* Wiped off the tires with some clean non Meg's MF cloths
* Wiped off the #21 finally with some clean Supreme Shine MF
and the are truly the top of the bill
And there it was that so wanted shine WOW what a great stuff
this #21 I really love this sealant
Some conclusions here:
* It regain some color depth
* It got some shine
* Not all swirls and fine scratches disappeared
* The where less noticeable for sure
* The owner was very pleased with it
Some pic's from the masked hood:
Here is a other one after a did a test spot with the #21
Finally some pic's from the end result:
It was a very nice weekend and I learned a great deal in machine
polishing, and I still love to detail
