[jamores23]

Mike, it was fun working with you guys. I hope Lou remembered everything I was trying to teach him. He got to use the flex and the pc using the new HT pads with the BF compound. What a great combo! It was cool to meet some of the other forum members as well and its always a pleasure to work with Adam and of course you lol.

Since we were working on two projects tonight, I did the test spot on the 1947 Chevy Roadster Pickup and Robert DiTerlizzi did the Test Spot on the 1986 Porsche 928, here's what the finish on the 1947 Chevy Pickup looked like,

After doing some testing here's what we went with,

1947 Chevy Roadster Pickup

Pinnacle Ultra Poly Clay and Pinnacle Clay Lube

BLACKFIRE Scratch Resistant Clear Compound

BLACKFIRE Scratch Resistant Clear Finishing Polish

BLACKFIRE Midnight Sun Ivory Carnauba Paste Wax


1986 Porsche 928

Pinnacle Ultra Poly Clay and Pinnacle Clay Lube

Wolfgang Total Swirl Remover 3.0

Wolfgang Finishing Glaze

Wolfgang Füzion Carnauba Polymer Estate Wax


After the Test Spots were dialed-in and a few people new to claying and machine polishing were given some hands-on training, everyone went to work!

Not a lot of room in-between vehicles but Rene still gets the wax on all the paint...

He Rene! Don't look at me focus on the task at hand!

And try not to look like you're having so much fun!

Here's Lew, the owner of the 1947 Chevy Truck learning how to machine polish, I'm behind him working on the passenger side door.

And here's the beauty shots...

Todd Helm and I polished the diamond plate bed out but ran out of time to seal it so Kyle sealed it using BLACKFIRE Wet Diamond Metal Acrylic Sealant. Now it sparkles like a diamond and it's protected too!

See more pictures of the extreme makeover of the diamond plate bed here,
