I met this guy through my job at O'reilly Auto Parts. He needed to get this old Ford shined back up. I only tackeld the paint with a single step polish.

Method:

I would polish with M105 and since the paint was so dry I would have to apply the Megs #7 and rub pretty good to get the M105 off but intern it would hydrate the SS paint then would wipe off.

Wash:
Megs Gold Class and Dawn

Machine used:
GG6 DA
Elbow grease

Products:
Megs M105
Megs #7
TarX

LSP:
Evershine World Class Wax

Oxidation came off quite well, great results, hopefully you'll have a repeat customer.
Maybe you could get him to pay for the rims to be done next?

Yes very good turn around but he is just looking for some simple rims. Didnt want to bother with these badboys even though I REALLY WANTED to.

It really was so much fun to work on. I told the guy how excited I was to work on it and he looked at me as if I was crazy because I knew what results it would yeild.
