Re: What would you do, 74 Javelin AMC?
Hi Tom,
Good to see you back on the forum.
My answer is,
Depends upon what the owner wants to pay?
Assuming on the low end of the package scale - I'd
- Waterless wash with SONAX Glass Cleaner.
- Clay using normal clay.
- Machine buff using the BEAST with BLACKFIRE One Step or 3D Speed
- Machine clean the tires using a rubber/vinyl cleaner conditioner
- Machine polish the glass as I'm machine polishing the paint -same product/pad
- Also run the same product and pad over all the polished metal - bumpers and trim
- And machine polish those worn and neglected graphics - same pad and product
KISS - Keep it Simple Simon
There's actually no good reason to do a Package 2 or Package 3 for this type of car in this condition.

Nice to see one of these; what you got there is not just a Javelin but a (hopefully) true AMX w/ the cowl hood and the 401. Kinda big, lunky cars but they did reasonably well for in Trans Am racing for a year or 2 I believe w/ Mark Donohue and the Penske/Sunoco team. Could stuff a whole lotta tire in those back wheel wells. Got any pics of interior?
Brother had a '73 for a bit, albeit with a kinda weak 304ci engine.
As for what to do to bring it back, I have absolutely no idea but it's pretty cool to see one.

Re: What would you do, 74 Javelin AMC?
I'd probably do some Meguiars #7 and a good old school wax. I'd try to make the patina shine.

After looking at the pictures again - I'd still tackle it the way I outlined.
I wish this were my detailing project.
Have fun.

Re: What would you do, 74 Javelin AMC?
I am thinking of
1. Rinseless wash with purple towels.
2. Meguiars # 7. Apply 4 or 5 applications 24 hours apart with white terry cloth towels.
3. Decals? not sure. Maybe a small test using Meguiars #7
4. Meguiars Yellow Wax.
4. Tuff shine tire cleaner.
