Well I normally don’t detail during the winter time, but received a call from a friend of a friend to help with this 68 GTO. The customer was restoring this car for someone and wanted help detailing it after painting it. The customer did an awesome job doing the body work, paint and lining everything up. The paint is a tri-stage and the color is called “Blue my mind”. When I got to the car the customer had already wet sanded the car down with 2000. The flake in this paint really "pops"!
After giving the car a wipe down I started with some Menzerna PG 400 on a lake country hybrid orange pad. There were a handful spots that needed to be re-sanded and hit again with the PG. 2nd step was some Menzerna SF 4000 on a lake country hybrid white pad. Lastly was some Menzerna power lock on a lake country standard blue pad. The 1st two steps were done with the flex 3401 and the 3rd step was done on the PC.
The rest of the car is being assembled by the customer. I do know that the owner of this car is the original owner and he’s extremely happy with the end results. Sorry if the pics are so-so, I took them with my phone.
