Hmmm..... what to use....

Suggestions?


:dunno:

 

[Jaretr1]

Go over to your shelf of products...find some that are already open, use those!

How about products from the Blackfire line? American classic should have American products used I think.

Pinnacle Souveran or Fuzion for the wax.

Pinnacle Souveran or Fuzion for the wax.

Either of these.

Or a Poorboy's wax. I like Natty's red paste. No better smelling (or tasting(jk)) paint, than a freshly waxed car in PB's Natty's red. "The snozberries taste like snozberries"

 

[RTexasF]

How about all Poorboy's products? It's been a long time since they were showcased. Show us what they can do.

***Update***


Paint is basecoat/clearcoat.

Took some pictures of the paint in the sun, it's all swirled out.

Did the baggie test, the paint is contaminated. Claying showed a brown colored gunk coming off.

Man whatever products you use...it needs your TLC! Bring that Ugly Duckling and make her a beautiful swan!

Griots BOSS creams and pads.....followed by a nice topping with Pinnacle Souveran

Use something you wouldn't normally go with

I second the full griots boss aresenal. Think it would be cool for everyone to see how impressive the creams really are, not to mention the oads work exceptionally as well

Turn back the clock to your days of old, back in Irvine California... Top that yellow car with some Meguiars Mirror Glaze #26 Hi Tech Yellow Wax

I would actually love to to see this too. This would help those ones who want to branch into one product line to start off with IMO.

Mike,

It would be neat to see you tackle a project like this with basic/beginner level tools and products and see just how well it comes out.

After all, I think I can speak for most people here and 90% of us look up to you in some way or another as we don't possess near the skill and knowledge that you do. Look at it as sort of a master of the skill who can do the job no matter the tools.

For instance using a porter cable on the whole car, some inexpensive polishes/compounds comparable to most, basic microfibers, etc.


just my thoughts...

Lots of great suggestions...


I'm saving this car for Thursday and while I have not settled on a brand for liquids I do have the new Lake Country Microfiber Pads to test out.

The basecoat/clearcoat paint on this old coupe needs major correction work.

Just finished this write-up... probably around 90 pictures... it was a swirled-out mess...

I also have an old 1970 Cuda in the garage that I'm going to knock out tomorrow...

It's been in a museum for at least the last 15 years, possibly 20 years...

The paint on the Cuda is all jacked-up too, I'll get better pictures tomorrow when the sun is directly overhead.

First time poster! Would love to see more stuff on Griot's Liquid Shine Poly Wax and Correcting cream.

 

[Shane731]

My vote goes to the Dodo Juice line.

 

[custmsprty]

Poorboys would be cool to see.
