It’s been some time since I documented my work here. But I wanted to show you the results I got using RUPES BIGFOOT POLISHING SYSTEM. Supplemental brands included Optimum car care, Meguiar’s, and ______ax as my LSP.

The paint wasn’t that bad to begin with, but I decided that I am in the business of preserving paint. So I did a test spot to conclude that I can do a One Step using RUPES yellow + Keramik.

This combo yielded the best (desired) results without going overboard. After all, this is a vintage car.

Before photos are lacking, but...you can see visual evidence of defects.

The prep work was done with ONR as a waterless wash and was followed up with fine claying.

The wheels took a decent amount of time, but in the end it was worth doing right.

RESULTS

The carnauba wax really was the icing on the cake and brought out such a pleasant glow to the paint.

Not bad for a mobile detail eh?! It took me 6 hours from start to finish including a pizza break.

Looks dazzling! But, that is not a 1967 Stingray.
It's either a '65, or '66

Beautiful!! What a car!

Sent from my SM-N950F using Autogeekonline mobile app
 
Beautiful work, Danny Boy!!! That thing is sexy as hell.

You can say Sonax if that was your LSP...they're in the PBMG family and sold on AG. Unless you meant Borax :).

Yeah, those wheels look busy.
 
Nice work on that vette! Very nice!

Yeah, it looks so sweet! Makes me cry in ways seeing this thread, and knowing I sold my '67 years ago. I now wish I never sold it. The 8-1/2 years of ownership today ('77-'85) feels like it was only 8-1/2 weeks
 
Awesome job! Definitely glowing.

I don’t think Sonax was used. I’m guessing the LSP brand name started with inhabitants from heaven.
