  • 76 Vette Detail (6 pictures, beware)

    Here's a picture of a nice 76 Vette I got to detail, it's the same neighbor who owns the truck I just posted. He had it painted a couple of years ago and had several buffer holograms as well as sanding marks, especially in the hood.
    The car was already clean, so we clayed the entire car. Since I had never worked on fiberglass before, I wanted to be extra careful. We started with the PC and 83 on a small section on the hood with no success, so instead of the rotary, I wanted to try the Dynabrade. I used OHC with a polishing pad and the rotary set on 5. It removed the marks and finished out pretty nice. I followed that up with the Dynabrade and 80 on a polishing pad. My neighbor hit the areas with the PC and 80 where the Dynabrade was too big to reach. We topped it off with 21 on the PC with a Polishing pad. Here are the pictures:

        Thanks Guys... I love that car, the color and body style are very smooth! I will send this link to the owner, maybe he will join and then he can post them over there. That was a fun detail!

                            That looks great! I have been thinking about trying #21 on our 2000 Corvette. After seeing this I will order some soon!
