Sign-up: 1969 Oldsmobile 442 - Extreme Makeover! At Autogeek! Where all the action's at!


This Thursday night, June 30th - it's your chance to test out and use all the tools everyone is talking about! We don't have any rules where we only show you one brand of tools. Nope... at Autogeek we're fair and balanced.

YOU get to use all the tools and make up your own mind. This is also the benefit to attending my Competition Ready 3-Day Detailing Class. You get to use ALL the tools and make up your own mind which tool is best for you. That makes Autogeek unique and sets us apart.


This Thursday night you can use your choice of ANY of these tools or ALL of them!

Personal comment...
I've seen this car in person and the paint is in dire need of having the swirls, scratches, water spots and oxidation removed.

Sounds good Frank. We also have a Donzi Day Cruizer coming in and an engine detail on a 1937 Chevy Coupe, so LOTS to do this Thursday night.

Nice 4 speed, 4 barrel, 2 exhust

With the GTO receiving GM corporate sanction to receive their full-sized car's 389 V-8 Oldsmobile followed suit and replaced the 4-4-2's standard 330 CID with the new 400 CID (6.6 L).

The definition of "4-4-2" was then restated as referring to

400 cubic inches
4 barrel carburetor (a 515 cfm Rochester 4-Jet)
2 exhausts.


Output for the big engine rose to 345 hp and 440 lb·ft

The standard transmission became a three-speed manual with the four-speed as an option, and Oldsmobile's two-speed Jetaway automatic transmission was added as an alternative.

Dang! That's a lot of tools participants can use.

I'd get 2 buffers and start using them with each hand HAHAHA!

Variety is the spice of life right?

In the past I've kept the focus on a single tool set, a single pad line and a single product line but sometimes I like to let people use what they're interested in or let them compare tools that they are interested in.

I show them all and Autogeek sells them all so it's win/win for us.

Perhaps a list could be posted on the wall of the Show Car Garage for participants (ME) to check off after usage.

It will be good to see you again Forrest.

My guess is most people have forgotten or have never read your Thursday night write-up so as a memory jogger or for people that have never see it before, here you go,

It will also be great to have you join us Den.

For those that don't know, Den honed his craft by attending our Thursday night classes so after his 1969 came out of the body shop he could polish the black paint in his 1969 GTO to perfection!


Back in Black! 1969 GTO!!!

Just a heads-up for those that are interested and ONLINE

We're going to start the washing process at 3:00pm in front of Autogeek. We need to wash and clean the convertible top. The owner says it's dirty.

Since we're going to get the top wet we might as well wash her with a foam gun too and while were at it use the Griot's Fast Surface Prep Mitts to mechanically decontaminate it and Iron X to chemically decontaminate it.

I always like to say my wash jobs are better than some guys detail jobs.


By the time we get this car thoroughly washed she's going to be ready for machine polishing.
