I love seeing the progress but always come away from this thread feeling frustrated on your behalf! I sincerely hope that things start picking up for you.

Did a full detail on a 68 Chevelle ss yesterday. The car was in pretty good shape when I got it, didn't have many swirls in it but the pain just didn't pop. We'll problem solved. My procedure was
Strip wash
Clay
Paint finishing polish with the flex and microfiber pad
Brilliant glaze
2 coats of Americana
Svrt on tires
And s100 on all the chrome trim
 

Great job! I love cars like this. It's the right blend of new-school while maintaining what makes these cars cool in the first place.

Damn.  If you're looking to replicate this technology, it appears you're SOL. 

Yard work! Plus, I helped my friend go pickup a tool box from Sears. I was loose in there with the Sears card and I didn't buy anything! Will power is otherworldly I guess!

I was thinking it was a hoax at first until I kept seeing it everywhere, then confirmed by more "credible" sources. I saw the picture of the Porsche he was riding in posted by the AP. Wasn't even recognizable. Just awful for something like that to happen to someone who was by most accounts was a genuinely nice guy.

It's quite handsome actually. I think the Porsche design aesthetic fits a crossover more than say the full size Cayanne. Certainly much better than the fatass BMW X6 in my opinion.

Where's the "love button"? LOL! Excited for you brother!

I have to agree with Chewy, I think it is a bit better looking than the Silverado as well. It was high time an American automaker made a proper mid size pick up again. I bet Chevy sells a ton of these.

I'll say! Your Challenger looks as smooth and shiny as glass. Looks great!

Work computer is being a PITA and not letting me see the photos, but I feel for you man. My Dad simply got rid of a 67 SS 396 convertable once due to a tweaked frame. It's good you are going to get this sorted out now, because chances are it would just lead to more problems in the future if you don't. Best of luck!

Whoa! And I thought I had a lot of work to do! Best of luck!

I feel for you. Looking forward to the progression from here, man.

LOL, mine too. I am looking forward to finally using mine. It's been sitting in the fridge since my wife ordered it. Once I can detail my 350Z again I think it is getting the Patriot treatment.

You're correct, it does flash quickly but I have always approached it as I have with the other polishes. Good luck!

Back again with some updated pictures of the '55.  These were shot a couple weeks back by me after I completed a full detail on it.  I threw just about the whole Adam's catalog at it, but if you are interested in anything specific please let me know.  Here are a few of my favorite shots:
 








 
 
 

Very nice. Only thing I think takes away from the car is the plastic engine cover. Maybe if you got the "vortec" shaved off and painted the cover to match the car with Chevrolet where the vortec is...just my thought.

Hey everybody!  Unsure whether DWC and the Metal Polish twins will do the trick on your old aluminum wheels?  Take a look at my Weld Pro Stars.  The stamp on them indicates that they were manufactured in 1995 and from my estimate, they have never been polished.  Although, it looks like they have been cared for reasonably well despite the seriously filthy backsides.  This is likely due to the small gap between the spokes and brakes.  I removed the fronts completely to clean and polish.  Unfortunately, the rear wheels were too wide to remove completely without deflating the tires, so they were cleaned and polished while still on the car.  Despite it all, I think they still turned out well...thanks to Adam's!

Comparison: The wheel on the left is unpolished, the one mounted is.

When you think everything in this thread isn't strange at all...

Rack of baby backs, with my own spin on some store bought dry rubs, smoked nearly four hours with hickory chips.
 
Yes, the yard is overgrown. Keeps raining though!

I knew that was where you were heading to, I just didn't know why until now!
