Mike and I had the opportunity to correct the paint on this all-original Studebaker.
It was painted 6 years ago and has been a show car ever since. It has the typical show car swirls and deep rids from dusting at car shows.
Some of the defects:
Hologramming and swirls
More swirls
Some rids and dull paint
More swirls
The color was very good at hiding the swirls, the pictures show only about 50% of the actual swirling.
Claying pulled off some black overspray from the hood:
We tested 4 combinations of machine/pad/product:
We found that the rotary/Cut N Shine wool pad/M105 would be needed on the horizontal surfaces, and the vertical surfaces would get the Flex/purple foamed wool/M105.
We also polished the stailness steel trim with the PC/4" yellow/M105
After compounding and a fresh wash, we final polished with D151 on the G110/LC Green 5.5" pad.
And now for the afters:
We polished the chrome with 105 and 151 as well:

Thanks for looking
