Wash the car then clay. Do a test spot and try the least aggressive pad/polish combo first. Perhaps the white pad with Griot's 3. If that isn't getting it, then step to the 4, or the 105. Then I would follow with a white pad and 205. Do an IPA wipe down (alcohol and water mix to remove the...

Great review and write up. Thanks for sharing your experience with this. I guess I need to get a compressor...

My recommendation with clear that is peeling off of your wheels is to find a mobile wheel painter and have him repair your wheels. In my last place I lived in Florida, I had a guy do mine for about 50 bucks a wheel, which was a good deal, and they looked sharp.

I used UTTG on the trim of my Corvette. I have to say it is fantastic. I am definitely happy I bought it.

Wow. Very remarkable turnaround. I'm sure that certainly helped sell the car looking that good.

Here's mine, 21' Sea Ray Laguna:

Beach Bum Boat Care.

It was that video that solidified my choice of getting the Flex. I love mine. Very easy to use, even as an amateur.

Great work. One of my favorite cars too. I bet the owner was happy with the results.

And by the way, I need to thank you again for sending me that article when I had pm'd you over at the corvette forum. The information was invaluable in helping me get the '74 back to looking a lot better. The car is practically 100% original except for the filler panels. The '74 is actually my...

Firemist Red. It was an option on the 1974.

:iagree: Thanks for posting that.

Hey Mike, actually I did wash the car and then clayed. I tried the MF towel and #7 first. I was putting in a lot of effort and there was no transfer of dirt or anything like that as in the article that you had posted. That's when I decided to break out the Flex, a white pad, and some 205. I...

I used #7 on my '74 Eldorado. I applied and let sit overnight. I tried to follow Mike's suggestion with using it to bring the paint back to life, but no dice. So I ended using some 205 first and then the #7. Turned out great. My dad was shocked that I could bring the paint back to life.

WD40 is a degreaser. It actually does not lubricate. I would not recommend that at all.

I would suggest using the aerospace protectant on the vinyl (leatherette, or as my German friends and I call it Kunstleder). This will provide good protection with a non-shiny look.

Hallo und herzlich willkommen. For scratches, I would recommend getting yourself a dual-action orbital buffer kit. Griots Garage buffer, Meguiars, Porter Cable, or Flex (German and fantastic, this is what I use). Buy it with a swirl remover kit. I have the Flex and Wolfgang kit (Wolfgang FLEX...

That is amazing work and craftsmanship. I can appreciate the time and dedication that it took to build this vehicle. Personally I would have selected a manual transmission for said masterpiece, but that's just me. Thank you for drudging this old post up, it is a spectacular example of what hard...

I agree, the DP fogging system may be a good thing to clean out the smoke smell with the addition of the 1Z Klima Clean.
