Thanks everybody for the kind words. It was a big job but it was important for me to do it because it is a great ol' car and a peice of American history and I wanted to push my polishing skills out to the limit. I mistakenly put the car down as a 41 dodge but it is actually a 41 Plymouth-oops.
To answer a few of your questions- "How much did you charge?" A- not enough! LOL
"How many pads did you use?" A- six wool, three 7006, one 8006
"How long have you been detailing?" A-earliest detailing memory is cleaning cars with my father in his bodyshop in Atlanta Ga. 1977. I started Superior Shine in 1989.
Here is part of a email the owner just sent me --
"Jose ...... Its Fantastic!!!!! I'm sending the article (this thread) out to family and friends ..... I left your contact info in my message and hope it generates some business.
Give me a a Payday or two and lets do the 57 Chevy Truck."
YA BABY I GET A 57 TRUCK TO DO SOON!!! Look for a write up on it.
WOW! Now I know why you're called "Superior Shine."
I'm totally ignorant about using a rotary buffer, but I was wondering, can you do all the areas on the car with it, or do some areas have to be done by hand rubbing only?
^^ buffers are menat for them to be worked on flat large areas such as the hood. but not the entire hood can be worked on such as the corners where the top of the hood is by the front mirror. those have to be worked by hand.
