Have fun with the project. I have a 63 Rambler with oxidized original paint. I attempted a spot with the above described methods( I am not a beginner). The results were mixed. I did decide to leave it after I did a basic cleanup of the paint ( no rubbing) because the PATINA was way more...

I've always felt that accentuating contrasting areas on a car was important, gives it more definition I think. When pointed out to customers they seem to get it.

Thanks, fun to work on

Nice job Scott, black IS beautiful!

Nice to know there are others out there specializing in this type of work. Not to take anything away from daily drivers or "sprucing up" of late model stuff- I have done my share and more of these as well, I just think what we have described requires a different skill set. After all, when...

Thanks a lot Scott!

Thanks!

I REALLY like that car and it's Soooooc clean and runs excellent. It's the euro version, all the manuals etc. are in Deutsch!

Thanks, I need to get with it a little more but I do have a Facebook page-Final Approach Detailing, please check it out as I have done with yours!

That is actually it, as I am constantly deleting pictures cause my iPad runs out of space. Doing too many cars for my iPad to keep up I guess!

Mike, it's been a real education working in this guys cars. We have met a couple of times and we are moving back to Naples for good now, have been snowbirding for the last 6-7 yrs. I love doing interesting projects like this and would be happy to jump in on something if you need help when I get...

Here's a Ferrari Maranello that got wet while being loaded on to the truck. The truck driver thought it would be better to wipe it off with that rag that's been under the drivers seat for 6 months. The same one that was probly used to wipe bugs off the windshield, check the oil, etc. Paint on...

Good, solid little cars. He sold it 2 days after I did the work on it. It was a quick profitable sale and the buyer remarked on how good it looked. I am just saying that there is value in detailing done correctly I.e. A quicker, more profitable sale not to mention the WOW factor!

Here is a very unique, very cool (IMO) Beemer 633. It had moderate scratching but the condition of the original paint was very workable. Scholls XXL on LC orange pad followed by Menzerna 3500 on white polishing pad were used for knocking out the defects followed by some leftover CQUARTZ from...

Thanks Mike, don't mind at all, I just clicked on the insert photo and that's how it appeared, is there a better way to do this? What is your opinion on my thoughts?

An early model 2002 with respray of unknown origin. 2step compound/polish Menzerna products and LC pads topped off with BLackfire polymer. About 14 hours of actual paint correction and another 3 for the trim etc. Enjoy!

Hey everyone, so it seems like my specialty has evolved into vintage exotics with challenging resprays or otherwise unknown paint jobs. Much more interesting (to me at least) than your standard late model bccc paint system in that it teaches one how to really "read paint" and develop an...

Technique gets my vote and along with that comes patience. I usually have to slow myself down a bit mentally because I want to get the job done faster but if you are doing serious correction on a vintage car I have to slow myself down or I will a scratch or defect. Then, I will have to go over...

very nice turnaround!

It's my experience working on Exotics almost exclusively that when the term "paint correction" is mentioned it is almost universally unknown or misunderstood. I did a tech session on paint correction for the local established British car club. Around 25 people showed up. I had slides prepared of...
