butchman Posted June 1, 2015 Share Posted June 1, 2015 Just picked this car up this weekend. 1969 Buick California GS. Here a few pics. Ones in the garage were after a revive polish and buttery wax. I clay barred the windows, glass cleaner. Interior cleaner on the inside. Still need VRT on the door panels and seats as they were worn from the sun. Did a test yesterday and that is going to work great. Tonight going to polish the bumpers and wheels.

Sizzle Chest Posted June 1, 2015 Share Posted June 1, 2015 Very nice! Love those old Buicks! That interior will clean up like a champion! I had a '70 Electra 225 w/455 in it. A big boat! Yeah! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rkj4243 Posted June 2, 2015 Share Posted June 2, 2015 Very nice Buick! Makes me glad that I was born long ago enough to actually not only see them, but also work on them, and some a few years older when they first were coming to market. Be sure to post some photos of the interior once you get it completed too! Don't make them like they used too! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

butchman Posted June 3, 2015 Author Share Posted June 3, 2015 I did some experimenting last night. Used leather/upolstery cleaner with the brush first. Then red pad with the leather conditioner. Even though I believe its vinyl I like the results better than the interior cleaner/vrt combo. Gotta do some touch up tonight and I'll post pics in the next couple days. It's been fun detailing this old car. My 87 was fun but the 69 has years of dirt and wear. No simple spray and wipe. Gotta a good list. Clean and dress tires, polish rims, polish bumpers, polish trim, interior glass, engine bay, etc. Car already pops but is really gonna pop after being Adamized.
