    Cool project and I'm sure you'll do an awesome job on it! Based on your pic, I'm assuming you found the CBeast and BF One Step strong enough to knock it out? I'm hearing good things about that CBeast.

    Hummm....I'll say borderline...

    Might break out the BEAST, but will tread carefully.

    All Gen 1 F-Bodies built and painted at Norwood (well, actually next door at Fisher Body) were indeed acrylic lacquer (DuPont). However, that does not necessarily hold true for late Gen 1's built at Van Nuys. Due to CA regs, they did quite a bit of experimenting with paint there.

    Give it a try with BlackFire and a microfiber pad. I have had very good luck on laquer and one stepping with it finishing down very nice.

    Done! Took six hours.

    Vacuumed everything and then did combo rinseless and waterless wash.

    Hood and trunk-Blackfire One Step/CBEAST/Rupes yellow pads.

    For the sides-switched to the beast and orange force hybrids.

    Washed!

    Re: 1967 Camaro.

    The convertible top stitches are dry rotted---Owner plans to replace the top.
    I just went ahead to see how much dirt I could pull out of the top.
    Did the vacuum, then wash. Third wash and cut was the Woolite, distilled water with Sonax brush!

    Did not bother with cleaning wheels---They are going to replace them with new rims/tires.

    The big take away from today....Embedded dirt!
    Machine polishing removed the embedded dirt and restored gloss and color.
