Quick all-in-one on this single stage painted truck. This was a really fun detail, didn’t take very long and had a great turn around.
Won’t bother with a ton of during pictures but captured a few 50/50’s as well as a reverse test spot.
Klasse All-in-one on the paint via GG DA 5.5 inch white pad
Inside just got a quick clean up.
Not a perfect restore job but still a fun truck. She also has a 69’ Camaro that’s getting some work done right now.
Right side polished / Left side unpolished (hood)

Hi Stephan,

Awesome results for a one-step cleaner/wax. I'm sure the owner was ecstatic to see the transformation. Really cool truck too. Isn't fun to work on single stage paints especially for extreme makeovers.


Did you show the owner how the paint looked in the before section before fixing it?


I did a reverse test spot to that Cutlass I buffed out a few months ago because I knew the owner had no idea how really horrendous the paint wax in at that time.

great work! that red looks amazing. good job bringing back some life to the paint!

Thanks Mike!

The owner knew how faded the paint was to start with but I wanted to have something for her to reference once all the paint was polished, which is why I opted for the reverse test spot. Wouldn't have done that if it werent for the article you put together on it.

It's not something that's done very often but you demonstrated where it can come in handy... or just for fun.

Thanks Jon. The red really changed colors throughout the detail.
