WOW!!

Congrats!!!!!! This is a great opportunity.

Synister Kid - The Black Keyes. Great song!!!

Great job!!! Great turn around.

Thanks guys and gals. This contest is always a lot of fun and had a even more fun cleaning that thing up and taking the after shots....

Thanks guys. Took a couple of hours to be honest. Plus seeing my parents face when i showed them was priceless.

Haha they did make the job easier. After this I need a new set!

So guys and gals, here is my submission. This spring I decided it was time to get my garage clean make some space to drive my car in there and work on it. Well.....while digging through tons of old junk and organizing other things, I came across this old platter my parents purchased many years ago. This thing has been sitting on the floor piled under boxes in a corner. After examining it, I knew this would be the perfect subject for the Detail Something Different Contest...

Here it is right after I pulled it out from its decade long resting place:

Some up close shots of the caked on dust or you can even call it patina at this point:

As you can see, there is no shine at all on this bad boy.

My plan of attack was to first hit the platter with some green wheel cleaner with the foaming sprayer to help clean some of the grime off it:

Here is the green wheel cleaner doing some work:

After an intial spray down with the hose you can see where the green wheel cleaner did some work:

Now it was time to hit the platter with some good ole elbow grease. I used some water and tad of all purpose cleaner to do a proper cleaning on the platter:

Even after cleaning with APC and a sponge/brush there was still some grime left over:

You can see right here there was 0 reflection on the platter:

The first initial wipes with metal polish:

Some test areas completed on the platter:

Looks like the metal polish may have met its match:

Finally! Some signs of improvement!

This is after a lot of elbow grease. But still not finished:

AND INSERT AC/DC BACK IN BLACK SONG HERE

BAM!

WAITOR, I WILL TAKE SOME SHINE WITH MY DETAIL SPRAY!!

YOUR DETALING SUPPLIES ARE NOW SERVED...

THESE WERE THE STEPS I TOOK TO SAVE THIS GUY:

1. Green Wheel Cleaner

2. Wash with APC and elbow grease

3. Metal Polish

4. A lot of sweat

5. Revive Polish

6. Brilliant Glaze

7. Buttery Wax

THANKS FOR LOOKING

great looking car. that last picture looks like it belongs on the top of the forum...

Great turnaround!!! That paint was nasty!!

that is some crazy stuff. i hope the second diagnosis is correct.

Thanks again bruce for the clinic. Good times and a great learning experience...

I recommend the blue waterless wash towels as well. They work great.

Well its good to see he is still using adams products. you can see the arsenal in the background of the video...

great looking results. That c10 is niiiiiice.

Thanks guys. This car has been so fun and oh so many memories....

Thanks Adams. While at a meet tonight I took these pictures and the Adams shine still impresses me.

Even Bruce's (PAPPY) Silverado was looking great!

It will be nice to see them out, but i still plan on keeping the g8 as well. I see one g8 a month on average. Gotta love the exclusivity.

Can't wait to see the looks of it. Especially the front end of it.
