How To Polish a Street Rod! - Modeled by Stacy!


1940 Ford Streetrod with Gtechniq EXO




This 1940 Ford arrived at Autogeek completely swirled out with holograms and a dull, hazy look. The students in my detailing boot camp class removed the swirls and scratches using Pinnacle Advanced Swirl Remover and Advanced Finishing Polish with Flex 3401 Forced Rotation Dual Action Polishers and then stripped the paint using GTechniq Panel Wipe and then applied Gtechniq EXO and here are the results...














Before





Holograms







If you look at the roof on the passenger side you can see holograms are all over the roof too...

Here's everything we used to create a true show car finish on this 1940 Ford Hotrod...

To wipe the body panels clean. As a rule, you don't "wash" antique cars as you will introduce rust causing moisture to places you cannot reach to dry.

Pinnacle Ultra Poly Clay
Pinnacle Clay Lube
Pinnacle Advanced Finishing Polish
Pinnacle Advanced Swirl Remover
Gtechniq Panel Wipe
Gtechniq EXO
Flex 3401 Forced Rotation Dual Action Polishers
