First car this weekend's boot camp class has arrived!

1963 Pontiac Bonneville Convertible

Might look good in the picture but here's what she really looks like...

Plus we're going to steam clean the interior and treat the top to some 303 Vinyl Cleaner and 303 Aerospace Protectant. We'll also be coating the tires.

That's a big boy.

The trunk is as long as my Mini Cooper lol

Awesome! My first car was a '64 Bonnie Convertible! This just brought a tear to my eye.

Oh yeah!

That sure is a beast. Kinda pleased I'm not doin' that alone though - thats a whole lot of paint to polish & it doesn't even have a roof!!!

Awesome!

Very good to know!

I'll be detailing a lot this weekend but I'll do my best to follow bootcamp news.

In advance, wish you all a very good and enjoyable experience, sweet as can be.

Kind Regards.

Good god, how many bodies could one stash back there? A mobster's dream ride.

Had a '64. But my '95 Buick Roadmaster could probably hold a lot more!

The vinyl top looks brand new. In fact, when the owner dropped this beauty off I asked him if he had the top replaced? He said, "no, that's the original top".

While it does look brand new we're going to clean it and then waterproof and protect it for the session on convertible top care.

The paint is trashed and we'll be using this car to go over the Porter Cable type DA polishers plus the Flex PE8 for the thin panels.

the nice thing about having cars that are a good candidate (marred/scratched badly) for machine polishing is during/after the correction you can go over the process and explain to the owner what was done and hopefully they can grasp some of the info and take care of it from that point on with a variety of different products...
