  • 72 Chevelle SS *Paint Correction*

    Recently I was asked to detail this car and did so over a 2 day period. Its a matching numbers car that was restored using almost all original parts. Body has minimal body work besides newer paint.


    Car was detailed with Blackfire Wet Diamond Sealant followed by Blackfire wax. I love this combination and feel it creates an unbelievable shine. Only downside is the time it takes the sealant to cure...which is more than a few hours. I generally wait 24 hours before applying a wax which can be inconvenient.


    On to the pics...


    First, the correction...have more pics but silver is really difficult to capture. I tend to not take as many pictures as I should...as I was able to get more correction after taking this picture.






    And, the finished product.

    Nice work! Love those classic Muscle Cars. What was your process to correct the paint?

      Paint was EXTREMELY SOFT.

      Used Green LC pad w/ m205. Then applied Blackfire sealant with blue LC pad.

      Then applied Blackfire wax by hand.

We can go out for a drive without her makeup and she looks fine. If I want to take the black one out, it is three or four hours in the "bathroom" to get ready.
