This vehicle is very special to my client. It was a 50th birthday gift from his wife. Vehicle is pretty much all original and hold NCRS certification. Some panels had been resprayed many moons ago. Paint was full of swirls, hard water spots/etching and some heavier scratches. I attempted to preserve as much as correct.

The ‘details’:

Adam’s tire and rubber cleaner.
Adam’s shampoo.
McKee’s37 N914 waterless wash.
Dodo born slippery clay lube.
‘Real’ clay bar.
Scangrip lighting.
DeFelsko PTG’s.
HF Hercules, Flex machinery.
Assortment of pads.
Meg’s M110/M210 and Menzerna P085RD.
Optimum panel wipe.
McKee’s37 Hi-def paint sealant.
Adam’s glass cleaner.
Adam’s interior cleaner/detailer.
BETA test silicon free matte tire dressing. (No, Lonnie, I can not give out any details about this. LOL)
Metro vacuum.

Thank you for looking!

Scott, amazing work!

Have to ask,
- On a car with hubcaps, do you still pull the wheels and clean the brakes and suspension?
- Are you ever asked to clean the undercarriage of your customers vehicles?

 

[NastyGT500]

Thank you!

I usually do not, unless it is a concours job. I have been asked on occasion to detail the undercarriage, not my thing, but it's always doable...

You have a lift, Scott?

Very nice work on that Vette. I know there is that fine line of preserving original patina vs. bringing it back to showroom condition or better.

 

[NastyGT500]

Thanks Bob. Yeah, paint was thin in some areas. Was nice to work on though.

Yep, I've got a 4 post and a Ranger quickjack.
