1940 LaSalle Convertible - Wetsand, Cut and Buff


We haven't set a date for this project yet so there's time to clear your schedule to be a part of this show car makeover that will include machine sanding the paint and then machine polishing the paint to perfection.

Only 4 Convertibles were built with dual side mounts so this is a very rare car.

Pretty cool... I was watching Fast and Loud last night and they found a similar LaSalle behind the fence of this old guy's house. Same grill and hood ornement. They just flashed a picture of it and it was too fast for me to see or remember if there were sidemounts or if it was a convertible. Prett cool though...

Ah... it won't be that bad... cars like this do have the rubber bead between the fenders that you have to tape-off or you'll get white splatter into them and turn them ugly. We had the same thing at my last Detailing Boot Camp Class when we buffed out this 1940 Chevy...

To remove orange peel and the dirt in the paint. Hard to see but here's a picture of the DIP or Dirt in Paint. Look for what looks like little dots in the surface...
