How To Detail Museum Cars, Classics & Antiques
This Saturday we're holding a very unique detailing class to offer training to staff and volunteers of the Elliot Museum on proper techniques for detailing museum cars.
There will be a lot of emphasis on correct techniques for hand polishing and waxing as often times antique and classic cars have either single stage lacquer or enamel paint.
Single stage paints tend to be a lot softer than modern clear coats paints and antique single stage paints also tend to become dry and brittle over long periods of time.
We well be going over machine polishing using tools like the Porter Cable 7424XP Dual Action Polisher as well as the Griot's Garage 3" Mini Polisher.
Our training car is an antique, Model A Police Car and I've taken some high resolution pictures to document the current condition.
