Default Re: Chevelle updates

Bruce;

Thanks...and yep, there is just something about a Blue Chevelle [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/biggthumpup.gif[/img]



Chuck;

I don't know what steps &amp; equipment he's using to do the final prep work aside from the quick buff he did with what appeared to be a fine wool pad and two different compounds (one compound for each specific side of the pad). In a nutshell: he used one bottle of compound and buffed lightly for maybe 2-3 minutes, which brought out the majority of the shine. He then flipped the pad on the buffer, grabbed another bottle of compound and buffed the area again for maybe another 2-3 minutes, which provided the results shown in the lower of the 2 pics. Obviously there's still a LOT of work to do, but I was more than pleased with what I saw with so little effort.

I'm just a dumb carburetor/engine guy, I don't know diddly squat about the specific ins &amp; outs of paint detailing. [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/dunno.gif[/img] [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/smile.gif[/img]

All I can say for sure is I've seen his finished work on several cars and it is <span style="font-style: italic">extremely</span> nice...not ultra high-end $25K paint job nice in this instance obviously, but far more than adequate for my ol' heap.
