Joe--This is the trunk lid off a Crown Vic I got from a junkyard this weekend to do rotary practice with. Maybe in 50 years, it will be a classic?

50 years from now, I bet they don't even put sheet metal on cars.r. b.Comment

Joe, that is incredible! Not only did you bring back the shine on 40+ year old neglected paint but you did it with products, a buffer and techniques probably even older!

Re: old school rub out?
That was just too cool...that story made my evening
And great idea on hanging the hood on the wall...I did the same with a front header clip from a 1965 Caddy.Comment

Re: old school rub out?
Last week I went through my yard and loaded up a pick up truck full of junk to hual off to the dump. That hood went in and out of the pile about 6 times.
You will be glad to know it is safely in my garage.Comment

Old school products worked on an old school paint job. That is important to remember.
You wouldn't want to tackle a modern clear coat the same way I did the hood in this post.
Thanks for the compliment.Comment

Re: old school rub out?
The corn starch trick was mainly used to remove swirl marks after buffing with compond. They would just sprinkel corn starch over the car and dry buff. After that you would have to wash the car. Im glad to here that mixing the corn starch with water makes a cleaner.Another trick with corn starch is in the day when people would use Simonize they would put on the wax and then sprinkel corn starch over it and that would make it much easier to remove the wax.Comment
