    One cool 58 Nomad

    I was asked to polish a 1958 Chevy Nomad for the Whangamata Beach Hop. I no you wont to no what is the beach hop ???
    A quick little History

    The Beach Hop is a 5 day event which attracts all kinds of classic and Hot Rods from all over New Zealand .Friday night and Saturday
    are the main days with up to a thousand cars or more.
    Whangamata is a favourite summer time holiday resort with 50% of the houses being holiday homes. The permanent population of 4000 swells to over 50,000 plus during the Beach Hop.

    Meguiar's New Zealand is also one of the sponsors for the Beach Hop

    Here is the car I polished for the Hop

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.

              So what was your process on the Nomad?

              And does it have SS or BC/CC paint?

                Well this might surprise you I used a combination of M101 and D300 on a W7006 pad with my DA which left an amazing finish
                I finished the beast of with D301 on the MF pad

                The car had been repainted and topped with clear a few years ago after major cancer work. For some reason the right hand side and bonnet was so hard to remove marks .Now the left hand side it was one pass and all done

                  You're right! I certainly wasn't expecting you to say that. I'm glad it worked out for you.

                  So no other sealant/wax on top of the D301 at this stage?
