1969 Pontiac LeMans - Shine & Show Event

[greg0303]

I prepared this nice classic ride for Meguiar's/ WalMart Event last Saturday. It has been re-sprayed over 15 years ago and it has BC/CC paint now.

After washing and claying the preparation for paint correction begins:









Paint buffing:

Step 1 - M105/ foam cutting pad/ D/A polisher
Step 2 - M205/ polishing pad/ D/A polisher
Step 3 - M07/ finishing pad/ D/A polisher
Step 4 - Ultimate Paste Wax/ finishing pad/ D/A polisher
Step 5 - M16 Professional Paste Wax/ finishing pad/ D/A polisher

Unfortunately some RIDS remained. The paint surface was swirl-free though. The trunk and hood have been sanded two years ago alraedy and thin layer of clear coat was there.

Interior work:

Quick Interior Detailer
Ultimate Protectant (lotion)
Gold Class Leather Cleaner/ Conditioner
All Purpose Cleaner
ShopVac

Exterior work:

All Metal Polish
Next Metal Polish (paste)
Convertible Top Cleaner
All Purpose Cleaner
Ultimate Quik Wax (door jambs)
Detailer Glass Cleaner Concentrate

Wheels/ Tires:

All Metal Polish/ DynaCone
All Purpose Cleaner
Quik Wheel Cleaner
Hyper Dressing 1:1 High Gloss

Engine bay:

Engine Cleaner
All Purpose Cleaner
All Metal Polish

Many soft paint brushes and tooth brushes.

Total time: around 30 hours.

Great job on the detail on such an awesome ride Greg!!! The amount of work you put in the car really shows. The paint looks flawless and extremely wet. I'm sure Barry himself was proud of the car being placed in the Meguiar's corral.

Thanks for sharing!

The car was delivered to me with a 48-hour delay. I wished I had this extra time.
