I'm going to have 6 cars I've been detailing since December 22nd going to Scottdale Arizona for this coming week Barrett & Jackson show.
The list of cars is as follows:

1971 Camaro Z28.
1968 Mustang Eleanor Clone.
1956 Ford F100.
1955 Bel-Air.
1967 Corvette Stingray.
1956 Corvette


Preface: first of all, my apologies for the brief description of the process. Believe me I've had a nice write-up a few minutes ago, I pushed the wrong key on my keyboard, and bye-bye write up. Now don't feel like starting over :tongue:

Anyway. There are six cars total. They will be on starting Wednesday. See lot number and day next to the car as I post to see when they'll be on TV.

All the cars were claybarred, Menzerna Polished using my Flex 3401 buffer and a Tangering pad.
All of these cars were detailed by me this Summer, with the exception of the Mustang and the 56 Ford F100. So, I lightly polished as needed and full polish/correction on the ones that I felt needed it also

Some of them got 4 star sealant, others got BFWD, and some got Dodo Juice Purple Haze Soft Wax. I will indicate the LSP choice as I go.

All the chrome was polished by hand including trim, and all aluminum polished with my Griots mini buffer 3" orange pad with Flitz as my polish of choice.
The tires were dressed with 3M Tire Restorer. The interior with 1Z Plastic Cleaner and 1Z Cockpit Premium. Leather interior with Lexol

Ok. Here we go again

First off. A 1971 Camaro Z28 -Wednesday Lot # 406.1
This one got Four Star Sealant

A little humor here...
I ordered a "sample" of the Dodo Juice Purple Haze Soft Wax.
Sometimes what you see on the internet can be a little deceiving.
I'll explain...
When I saw the pic of the 30ml Dodo Juice sample, I thought it would be a decent size to use on all the cars I've intended to use it on.
Well, when I received my sample and opened up the box, I laughed my ass off. It was histerical to see the size of the sample I've got.
I was worried I wouldn't have enough for the 3 cars.
Luckily, this stuff goes over easy, covers nicely, and I was able to do the whole F100 P/U truck, the '56 Black Corvette and the black section of the '55 Bel-Air.
See the picture of the size of the tub, and what was left after I use it on the cars mentioned...

Thanks!
That's what my customer's does. He buys cars, restores them, and sells them.
He's building a 1963 split-window Corvette with an LS9 Supercharged engine.
He should have it by this Summer. I can't wait to detail that baby.

WOW Goose, great job! Those car are nicer than you described, all are very nice but imo the wheels on the mustang need to go, some classic replica's in a larger size would have made it much nicer. The Bel Air is amazing!

Thanks everyone.
Yes, these cars kept me busy for 3 weeks.
It was very cool to work on those cars, and the time it demanded to get them done was paramount to achieve the best results...
