THE Mook Posted April 18, 2013 Share Posted April 18, 2013 Hey There! I was so fortunate last week to meet up with a gentleman from the ColoRODans and knock out his Bahama Blue, 1949 Oldsmobile Ninety Eight. This baby was powered by a 409 Rocket, and sounds amazing! The client only wanted his paint corrected, polished, and waxed, as it had NEVER been waxed since he had it painted two years ago! A couple before pics as he was pulling in...(the client clearly had a leadfoot.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

THE Mook Posted April 18, 2013 Author Share Posted April 18, 2013 Some of What I Needed to Get Out: This Area would take some work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
THE Mook Posted April 18, 2013 Author Share Posted April 18, 2013 After masking off a few areas with our Detailer's Tape, I moved onto Clay-ing the car with Adam's Claybar and Adam's Detail Spray. It sure was in need of it! YUCK Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
THE Mook Posted April 18, 2013 Author Share Posted April 18, 2013 I set out a test area for what I thought would be the answer here...One pass each of the Prototype Polishes, and I was happy. Enough about the paint for a few. The client and I had agreed that I shouldn't worry about the wheels, as they were coming off for new ones soon enough. I COULDN'T just let them sit there, especially if I wanted to take some nice after pictures. SO, I began the Wheel and Tire part of the show. The wheels were chalky, and well, let's be honest, weren't the best aluminum in the world. I got pretty good results out of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
THE Mook Posted April 18, 2013 Author Share Posted April 18, 2013 With that out of the way, my brain could now go back to focusing on the paint. I knew this was going to come out pretty nice. What a great color to work with! These next shots were through polish only. No Glaze or Wax had been put down to this point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
THE Mook Posted April 18, 2013 Author Share Posted April 18, 2013 With all the Machine work essentially done here, I brought out the Brilliant Glaze and the 7" Red Pad. I couldn't stop grinning! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
THE Mook Posted April 18, 2013 Author Share Posted April 18, 2013 It was time. Time to bust out the Patriot Wax for this piece of American History! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
THE Mook Posted April 18, 2013 Author Share Posted April 18, 2013 Wiping off the Patriot, I was still grinning, just about jumping up and down with excitement. This turned out WELL! Remember These Scratch Marks? Not so much now, right? With all of the hazing gone, all of the swirl marks out, and a nice coat of wax on this car, I was feeling pretty happy.

THE Mook Posted April 18, 2013 Author Share Posted April 18, 2013 With the weather the way it's been here in Colorado the past two weeks, I was not able to take any outside shots of the car. In fact, when the client came to pick it up, I thought he was crazy, as he was driving it home, and the ONE day it hasn't been wet here, he chose to take his chances! Thank you all for stopping in!
