Wow, that was a happy ending... 1st price

So you pretty much cut the oxidation with #83 while using #7 to nourish the paint, and then going over the whole car using ColorX as a final cleaner/polish (and for protection)? Just trying to get the exact process

Re: Pro Advice needed before I quote Lamborghini

Thanks Folks! The key to any product is surface prep. I worked with #83 for many hours and used a generous amount of #7 as well. I think the ColorX provided additional oils in this starved paint. IF...big IF..the owner will properly wash and maintain the car, ColorX will provide a long lasting finish.

A lot of folks (myself included) tend to "jump" on the latest product. But now I step back and look at the vehicle and think about what is this vehicle's lifestyle? Show, work, cruise, competition? Then I try to make an educated decision for giving the owner the best product choice.

Here's a shot at the show with my Mach 1 next to the Countach.



It certainly was a challenging job...but I got a lot of personal satisfaction from the results.

A detailer's BEST compliment! The owner of the Countach took a 1st Place trophy in the 1972-1985 Original Car field of 154 cars.



It was a fine way to finish a lot of hard work.

WOW great job, SS paint can really be brought back to life in a lot of cases. The owner will save a ton of cash just having the really dead areas spotted in.

Great job sir, I'm sure the owner will be very pleased.

BUT, BUT...that motor has the most incredible sound. Italian V12's just have an exotic Formula sound that give you goose bumps.

I want to come over in the morning and HEAR it!!!!

Kelly: he's picking up the car at 7:30 Am...then driving to Oak Grove MO for a local show. I'll probably chase him over there in the Mach 1.

I gotta say folks: If you haven't used Meg's Color X in a while, it's a fantastic product! Especially for paint like this. It's too bad the roof is beyond repair (as well as a few other spots).

I may end up putting a quick coat of M21 tonight (the owner picks up the car tomorrow morning).
