Mike I Need Your Help

I lay the towel over the sap forming around the sap very gentle like till im sure of the exact spot to hit and take my VX5000 and shoot only the sap area with steam multiple times while softly touching the sap area to see how much its softened.Eventually it goes right into the microfiber towel,

I very slowly bring the surrounding towel together trying to make the center point the area of sap and lift away.

It leaves very little left on the surface to deal with next but there is always a residual to be handle after.

The steam is your friend and a great first option to any solvent.

Cheers

That sounds like a really good option, especially for a modern clearcoat finish. And I agree steam, or in it's base form, water, is about as safe as you can get.

Water
Warm water
Steam
Solvents


As soon as you bring a decal on single stage paint that's on a car that's 44 years old and worth a ton of money... and it doesn't belong to you... then you want to be extra careful.

We have three steam machines in the garage, the newest one being the Dupray steamer and it's amazing what simple hot water or steam can do.


Thanks for adding the above and if the OP aka DP 08 GXP has a steamer, definitely take it with you as a option.

Not to change the subject back to info on the birds but the blue color is called Blue Fire Metallic. Almost everyone was wrecked on the assembly line because of the length of the vehicle. The wing was so high to allow the truck to open. I have more tid bits but I don't want to hijack the thread it is more about care of the vehicle.

We need pics when you get a chance.

It was the factory's follow up stock car racing design for the 1970 season to the Dodge Charger Daytona of 1969, and incorporated many engineering changes and modifications (both minor and major) garnered from the Daytona's season in competition on the track.

The car's primary rival was the Ford Torino Talladega, which in itself was a direct response to the Mopar aero car. It has also been speculated one motivating factor in the production of the car was to lure Richard Petty back to Plymouth.

At the time Mopar (Chrysler) was getting hammered in NASCAR by Autolite (Ford) and GM. So they got the idea for that design for it's aerodynamics. It had a low spoiler but there was one problem. At the time NASCAR rules stated that in order to be allowed to race a car, a minimum of 500 units had to be sold on the streets. With that low spoiler the trunk wouldn't open so they had to raise it for trunk clearance.

What happened next was an all out assault on Ford and GM.

And the rest is history.

Yes. Single stage enamel is my guess.

Definitely get a bottle of #7 Show Car Glaze...


Looking forward to this project you lucky dog!

I haven't ironed out details as to how much paint correction he is wanting done but I was thinking about bringing my FG-400, PF-2500 and SF-4000. I will probably top it with Souveran or Fuzion. Does that sound like a good combo to go with Mike?

With that arsenal of products I expect to see a flawless show car finish that will blind the owner!
