BranMo103 Posted February 12, 2016 Share Posted February 12, 2016 After a day and of half doing a clay bar, paint correction, Polish, glaze and wax using all Adams products, I'm finally finished. I wasn't able to cut the spots out of my paint that I was originally going after but I'm more than happy with the results on this 50 yo car. It shines so bright, it's blinding in the sun in reality. Now I can hopefully hold out another summer before getting the body work and paint done on it. mc2hill, b_pappy and Dan@Adams 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich Posted February 12, 2016 Share Posted February 12, 2016 My brother drove those big DeVille's for years and since he was in a wheelchair, I was always the one who got to wash and wax them. I know how much work it takes. You did a great job. Looks really nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BranMo103 Posted February 12, 2016 Author Share Posted February 12, 2016 Thanks Rich. This was my first use of my Flex 3401 so I was eager to try it out by its definitely a job that you have to clear the day for. I'm super happy with the results of Adam's products. The buttery wax was like.....well butter going on and coming off. I was a bit skeptical about the glaze that I got last week in my mystery box but it was super shiny. My eyes had to adjust for a few minutes after staring at the chrome for too long. Dan@Adams 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BranMo103 Posted February 12, 2016 Author Share Posted February 12, 2016 That 1 Pic really doesn't do it justice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan@Adams Posted February 12, 2016 Share Posted February 12, 2016 It still looks great though! That is one big, sweet car Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pirahnah3 Posted February 13, 2016 Share Posted February 13, 2016 Great job! That is definitely a BOAT of a vehicle. I can understand things taking forever with large vehicles. I would bet with a little work you can still get those spots still. I dont think there is much that cant be tackled other than dents and the like.

b_pappy Posted February 13, 2016 Share Posted February 13, 2016 Beautiful car, more details and pics on it please. Is it a '66? New owner, or long family history? Sorry if there's a thread detailing all this, I'll search (next). Great job correcting it too. Bruce Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CMDChase Posted February 14, 2016 Share Posted February 14, 2016 I love those full size GMs from the sixties. That Caddy looks great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BranMo103 Posted February 14, 2016 Author Share Posted February 14, 2016 The history>>>>It's a '66. I bought it about a year and a half ago from a guy in Kansas City and have just been taking my time fixing things on it and replacing 50 year old parts to new ones. I'm finally down to a very short list of things left to do before I go to interior and have the bodywork and paint done. It's like my baby so I hate for it not to be home for extended periods of time which is why I'm trying to make it through one more summer without paint. Last summer I couldn't really do a lot of driving during the car season because it's so hot here in Louisiana and these cars are bad about becoming heat soaked, but after rebuilding the transmission, having the carb rebuilt, the oil pump replaced, a new air drier and freon, new exhaust, new gaskets, etc. it may be worthy enough to go to a few small local shows this spring.
