Big Block 64 Olds Super 88

[TMQ]

The 64 has only 27000 miles on it. Paint was dull, oxidized and flat.

Car was left in garage for few years and in the last 2 or 3 years, it was left outside.

Tried a few things but would not respond to anything relating to rotating polishes. Made the paint looking worst and flat.

Did the megs # 7 bingo! It did the trick.
Did 5 applications of # 7 over 5 days.

Finished off with Pinnacle Souveran wax.

Perfection!

Thank you!

Thanks to that detail class I took by a fella named Mike.

My life hasn't been the same since!

Key take away---Take the class! And put in hours and hours behind the buffer! Believe me---you'll start to see things before you even start anything!

Thanks to AutoGeek and to Mike for giving me a second career!

Believe it or not...it wasn't all that bad.

That would be the 394 Skyrocket IIRC.

Olds always had great names for their motors.
