Today we have our advanced class going on. I pulled up a little at 7am and we already had a couple guys taping up the car for class. Everyone is ready to tackle this car and get rid of all that orange peel!

The GTO turned out awesome!

These guys really stepped up to the plate, we machine dampsanded, cut and polished the paint on this 1971 GTO and saved the paint job. This was a huge undertaking but the finish came out really nice. I'll share some better pictures off my Canon Digital Rebel tomorrow...

These guys did an excellent job. Sanding by hand is a delicate process that requires perfect technique, and these guys pulled it off successfully.

Mike going over the areas sanded by hand with the class.

Time to show the guys how it's done with the 3M Pneumatic Air Sander.

And then it was time to break out the trusty PC 7424xp.
http://www.autogeekonline.net/gallery/data/1208/medium/IMG_28482.JPG
Looks like two professionals in the making right there!

Mike gets to work with Tavares and Daniel to finish the passenger side.

http://www.autogeekonline.net/gallery/data/1208/medium/IMG_28551.JPG
It's no coincidence that we had Tavares sanding the roof. He could easily reach the center of the roof with no sweat.
http://www.autogeekonline.net/gallery/data/1208/medium/IMG_28561.JPG
Mike sanding the intricate areas with the Griot's 3"
http://www.autogeekonline.net/gallery/data/1208/medium/IMG_28571.JPG
Look at all that clear!

Almost finished!

After wet sanding Mike shows the class how to properly remove sanding marks using a rotary polisher and a wool pad, the guys don't waste any time and get to work.

After removing the sanding marks, the guys grab the rotary polisher of their choice, a 6" white polishing pad and a finishing polish.

It's gettin' there!
