Missing being there... See you all in 2015!

I was asked to undertake a detail on a 65 Chevy for a freind for an upcoming show. The car has undergone a full off-chassis rebuild and was built as a driver rather than show car, in the past 12 months this has spent a lot of time in different shops and the outer surface was showing a lot of swirls and scratching. Products used were: Generic solvent wax remover Adams Clay Bar Flex with: Adams Severe Swirl Remover Adams Swirl & Haze Remover Adams Fine Machine Polish PC with: Adams Revive Polish Adams Machine Sealant Finishing with several coats of Americana - not really needed but I just love the finish. I started by de-waxing the surface followed by a full surface clay. I spent some time on the hood working out the processes needed to get the surface perfect, you can see the RHS after trial polishing - no waxes or sealants yet, just paint The RHS of the car needed a lot of work and had zero reflection before I started. I had to start with compound and a direct drive polisher here. I spent a lot of hours on the end of the flex going through process after process, It is winter and was -5degc outside, hence the wooly hat! Here I am undertaking one of many full surface inspections tracking down scratches and marks The RHS finally has the reflection it deserves! Here I am buffing off the Adas Machine Sealant, I started on Friday night and this is late Saturday afternoon... Sunday saw 2 x coats of Americana Cleaning up all the edges was a pretty involved job, cloths, small brushes and tooth picks are my most used tools for this. Engine bay only needed a minor detail, underside is as clean as the engine bay. Americana is just the best! Finally outside for a check over in natural light - unfortunately an overcast day Reflections, reflections, reflections.... A great car with the finish it deserved, the owner was justifiably happy and photos are being used in the programe for our National Hot Rod Show

Awesome finish Dave and fantastic cars

Fantastic news, well done!

looking forward to stepping up into these

Here you go - best pics I could find - 2005 Ford GT, race prepared in NZ for endurance racing using factory components, 850hp in race tune! we tune these on the dyno in my day job....

Just arrived in New Zealand, Boss Mustang 302S Number 25, the lucky owner is preparing it for endurance racing down here, a quick polish with Adams Revive and she was good to go! The lucky owner also has a 2012 Shelby GT350 road car and a genuine Ford GT (GT40) race car...

Fantastic pictures Dylan, Damm I should be there...
