Note: You can see all the before and after pictures starting with post #22 in this thread.

Starting at 5:00pm on Thursday, May 10th there will be a live video broadcast of all the action taking place here at Autogeek's Show Car Garage as team of Pro Detailers and Enthusiast Detailers tackle two project cars in a single night.

Click back to this thread to watch the live feed and share the link to this thread with all your car buddies!

Here's what we'll be working on!


Lou's 1947 First Series Chevrolet Pick-up
Lou took a truck that started out wrecked, wrinkled and held together by rust and created a one-of a kind Hotrod Roadster Pickup with a wild yellow with flames paint job. While the paint is in good condition it has swirls and scratches that were going to remove by machine polishing and then create a super high gloss finish to really set this truck off.

Louie's all original 1986 Porsche 928
This car has the original factory basecoat/clearcoat finish and while it's in very good condition we're going to clay the paint, machine polish the paint and then machine wax the paint to max out the clarity and gloss.

Nick and Mike, BP ads are every 15 minutes. You guys probaby don't see them.
 
I like how I can hear every thing. The conversations are very interesting
 
That's all folks! Thanks for joining us online tonight. Be sure to check out the bottom of the AutogeekOnline.net discussion forum often as that's where you'll find upcoming projects announced as well as an announcement for Live Video Broadcast.

We'll try to do these every other week...

Hi Mike, first off, thank you for the live stream tonight, it was excellent. The only complaint I have is, with a beer commercial every 15 minutes or so(much better than the BP commerials), guess what it made me do. I am a new registered member to the forum, but I’ve been lurking for about a year. I must say that this site is like browsing through an encyclopaedia of car detailing. Also I must say that as a member of two other forums (not car detailing), members treat each other with much more respect here. Now onto a question for you and any others that are able to help. After compounding the car, why did they remove the tape before waxing? If your goal is to avoid getting wax on the different trim textures, wouldn’t it be better to leave the tape on? I do have some other questions in general, but I will post them separately in the forum. Again thanks again for a great site.
Mike
 
Here's a few Beauty Shots of our project cars and the Transformation Team and then it's time to shut down Autogeek's Show Car Garage. I'll be back online tomorrow to answer any questions in this thread...


Both projects now have a deep, wet shine!

Thank for posting your observation, we work very hard at running a family friendly and helpful forum. We want people to feel comfortable asking any question and being talked down to in a demeaning manner or told to simply use the [search] button.

Great question!

There's two approaches,

1. Remove the tape after all correction work then machine apply the wax. Using this approach you have to be extra careful not to cream out any trim but at the same time if you focus on the task at hand you can remove any tape-residue lines as you're machine applying the wax. Otherwise, you'll have these thin lines of polish residue everywhere there was tape and you'll have to carefully wipe these residue lines off by hand.

2. Leave the tape on till after the wax is removed and then carefully wipe off any residue lines where the tape was placed.
​
There are benefits and drawbacks to both approaches, I don't think there is a perfect solution. Classic cars, antiques, muscle cars and hot rods tend to be easier to buff out in general and one reason why is because they has less or no rubber, plastic or vinyl trim to have to deal with.
