    Rupes side by side detail - 1955 Crown Victoria

    Rupes side by side detail - 1955 Crown Victoria



    Tomorrow I'm going de-swirl this classic 1955 Ford Crown Victoria by splitting it down the middle and then buffing out one side using the Rupes 21 and the other side using the Rupes 15 and then document how long it takes me to do the entire job and each side of the car.


    Clearcoat Paint System
    This restored Ford has been repainted using a modern basecoat/clearcoat paint system.

    What this means?
    This means that this car has a paint system similar to the paint system on your car in your garage and thus all the pads, products, tips and techniques I use to remove the swirls and restore a true show car finish on this old Ford will also work on your car.

    Great idea. Subscribed. Should be a good review as to which one to buy.

    Mike, It always amazes me to see all those beautiful cars that come to you so swirled. After you do your magic to them how often to they come back to ask you to correct them again?
    Always keep the shine in your life.

    Mike, if you have time, do you think you could put the 5" BP on the 21 and let us know how you think it feels?

    Actually, many of them go on to and continue winning awards at local car shows.

    The 1964 Chevy Delivery Truck took a 7th place award out of 300+ cars last weekend...

    Tommy just keeps winning more and more awards with his 1970 Cuda.

    1970 Barracuda Extreme Makeover





    All of the above should be at Detail Fest on display...

    Wow, what a car! Kind of sad at the end how that nameplate was only associated with police cars and taxicabs.
