Man this car had some dead paint! 200k miles and 31 years old will do that.

Customer said he just wanted it to shine and be protected. So I cut with Griots Garage Fast Correcting cream and an orange pad (I didn’t want to risk any burning with such old paint) followed by CarPro reflect and yellow refining pad.’

I hate doing the tape line, but he asked me for it.

Two coats of Cquartz UK, topped with Gliss (haven’t ordered SiC as I still have quite a bit)

The owner is part of the 1320 crew and I knew he was going to do SOME videography...didn’t think he was going to point it in my direction. But I think it went well, I am not plugging his channel. Just showing how excited he was for the results.
 
Classic MB right there

That’s dope! His reaction is great and you deserve it cause that was a lot skilled work you put in.
 
Awesome job, John. Can't get over how nice the interior was. Goes to show you how much better the leather was 30+ years ago.
 
I don't know what he normally blogs about, but to do a whole segment on your work is a testament to your quality.
