  2. I'm going to take some Waterless Wash, Detail Spray, Glass Cleaner, VRT, microfiber towels and applicators. What else? I'll be putting a coat of Americana on in Friday night and then getting up Saturday morning and driving about 30 miles to the show. I planned on just using Waterless Wash to clean it up a bit and remove some of the bugs that I don't dodge. I read that Brilliant Glaze can remove some of the Americana if it is put on top. Is that true?
  3. Nice! I haven't put any Americana on it yet. Should I do another layer of Brilliant Glaze after I put some Americana on?
  4. It's coming along. Mike Phillips gave me some advice on how to approach it. I put two layers of #7 on with a microfiber pad to act like a subtle abrasive. The paint is really thin in some spots, so I'm being cautious about polishing. I'm taking her to a car show this weekend and I'll post some pictures then. Y'all can follow me on Instagram at @67gt350 if you want to see some more pictures. Could I do another layer of Brilliant Glaze or should I move on to some Americana? Here's a teaser:
  5. Thanks guys. I have some Brilliant Glaze but should I go with a sealant instead?
  6. Hey y'all, I recently purchased a 1967 Shelby GT350 from my late father-in-law and I'm looking for advice on how I should approach the maintenance of it. It is a repainted survivor car but I'm not sure when it was repainted. It could've been 30 years ago. The paint has a lot of cracks and chips, and it's really thin on some of the apexes. It really needs a repaint and that is the plan, but not right now. What would be your recommendation of the maintenance of this paint? Should I stay away from paint correction and just stick with sealants, glazes and waxes? Thanks!

  7. Gallon rinseless wash and dilution bottles ordered.........and maybe pressurized spray bottle and another double soft towel. Hello, my name is Dalton and I have an Adam's addiction.
  8. Thanks Michael. I'll definitely give that one a try. I was wondering the best way to give it a good cleaning once I get to a show.
  9. I have a 7424xp along with the correct pads. Also, 2 buckets with grit guards, foam gun, wash wedge, double soft towels, great whites, foam blocks and microfiber applicators.
  10. Washing a classic car using a hose and bucket flushes the car with a lot of water. The water gets in all of the nooks and crannies and creates a potential rust issue.
  11. Thanks guys. I know he took great care of it, so it might not need a 2 bucket wash. I'll just have to see what I'm working with once I get it to my house. Here's a couple of pictures: Here's my father-in-law sitting in it:
  12. Hey guys, I just bought a 1967 GT350 from my father-in-law and I'm trying to get some opinions on washing techniques. He passed away last week so the car is still at his house and I haven't had a chance to really examine how the paint looks up close but I think it will need some love. Should I stay away from washing it with water and just use waterless, or would it be ok to use water once then go waterless from there on? I guess I'm just looking for opinions. Thanks guys!
  13. Thanks for all the kind words. Prayers are definitely needed! So if I need to do some paint correction, the 2-step system will be safe for the single stage paint?
  14. Thanks everybody. I need to keep reading up on single stage paint.
