    Mellow Yellow 2-door Chevy - Dr. Beasley's Z1 - Corrected & Sealed - 1965 Corvette

    Mellow Yellow 2-door Chevy - Dr. Beasley's Z1 - Corrected & Sealed - 1965 Corvette


    Looks good huh? But this is under florescent lights...




    BEFORE

    Here's how she looks at high noon under Florida sunshine...

















    After a waterless wash and claying. Wheel Maskers are on, she's ready to buff.






    No Yellow Paint = Basecoat/Clearcoat Paint System

    I did my Test Spot using a white pad and the Z1 is white in color. Had this been single stage paint you would see yellow on the pad after I did my Test Spot





    Test Spot Results













    AFTER




































    303 Aerospace Protectant

    This classic Corvette has a brand new vinyl top on it. After a light cleaning, I applied 303 Aerospace Protectant.










    Flexible clear plastic windows i.e. Isinglass

    Not only is 303 Aerospace Protectant for vinyl, it's also for clear plastic windows or vinyl windows like you see on this Corvette. It protect them and also restores clarity.










    And here's a beauty shot with the top up...






    Comments

    The new Dr. Beasley's Z1 works great as you can see by the before and after results in the pictures above. Besides excellent correction ability, shine and gloss, this AIO also leaves behind durable ceramic nanocoating protection that can last up to one year.


    Modify cut by modifying pads
    I increased the cutting ability for the passenger door and the driver's side rear quarter panel by using Lake Country 6.5" Force Hybrid Foam Cutting pads (orange). These two areas had much worse swirls and scratches. For the rest of the car I used Lake Country 6.5" Force Hybrid Foam Polishing pads (white)



    The stuff I used,

    Pads used: 6.5 inch Lake Country Force Hybrid Orange Cutting Pad and 6.5 inch Lake Country Force Hybrid White Polishing Pad

    Tool used: FLEX Supa BEAST with 6" backing plate

    Towels used: Storm Gray Edgeless Microfiber Polishing Cloths


    And of course, Dr. Beasley's Z1 - Get yours here,

    Tips Videos

    As I detailed this video I made 9 Tips Videos. These are short clips showing how I would tackle different aspects of detailing a car like this. If you're an Instagram person, you can find them on my Instagram page. If you're a Facebook person, you can find them on my Facebook page.

    FWIW - One of my good friends in this industry watched all 9 of the Tips Videos for this car and he said,

    I really liked these tips videos because they show real-world tips and techniques for how to approach different aspects of each part of the car that was detailed.

    I asked him,

    What about how the videos are choppy or not smooth because I'm holding the camera as I also do the "thing" I'm showing.


    He said not only did he not care, he prefers the organic, original style the information is presented.

    Yes sir!!

    I always get a kick out of Mike's dead pan descriptions of awesome cars.

    e.g.: HEMI 'Cuda = "Old 2 door Dodge"......

    Good question - the answer is “no”.


    Here’s pad after doing a Test Spot - there’s no yellow paint coming off the car.





    This 1965 Corvette has a modern basecoat/clearcoat paint system.
