Mnitetrain Posted September 17, 2015 Share Posted September 17, 2015 Kids I went to high school with had those nice Impalas back in the day. I was driving a 56 Buick Flintstone (Rusted floorboards). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

69supersport396 Posted September 17, 2015 Author Share Posted September 17, 2015 Thanks everyone! I am on vacation next week, and I plan on doing a more aggressive correction. The top surfaces could use more help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
69supersport396 Posted September 20, 2015 Author Share Posted September 20, 2015 Round two turned out a little better. After a strip wash and clay, I hit it with my old rotary buffer and some aggressive stuff. Wouldn't even tough some of the scratches. This paint is impressively hard! I even laid the buffer on an edge and only made it shinier. Gotta be Centari or Imron. But the surface is smoother than before. I followed with Adam's Paint Correcting Polish and a new Orange Pad, followed by Adam's Finishing Polish while enjoying using my Rupes LHR 15 ES for the first time. What a wonderful machine! I ended the day applying some older Machine Super Sealant. Today, I applied Adam's Brilliant Glaze and topped with Americana. Some of the chrome received Adam's Metal Polish. The finish is certainly smoother, but the top surfaces have suffered wear over the years. I guess it is what it is. mc2hill 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Redline Challenger Posted September 23, 2015 Share Posted September 23, 2015 At this point, after all that effort (and fantastic result BTW) I think you're probably ready to move the Chevelle and Camaro out to the curb and give this Impala the spot of honor in the garage!

Nope. They have good paint still. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

69supersport396 Posted September 25, 2015 Author Share Posted September 25, 2015 On a whim, and since i'm on vacation, I drove over to Westgate Entertainment Complex where they have a Wednesday Night Hot Rod Cruise. There were 4 other '66's there. All I had to record the event was my cell phone that was almost discharged. I'll do better next time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
