    irst Wash in 25 Years ABANDONED Barn Find Corvette Disaster Detail!

    Today, we tackle the interior, exterior & engine bay of an ABANDONED 1984 Chevrolet Corvette C4, that is covered in dirt, debris, and fuzzy little critter goo on the inside. This car hasn't been detailed in years and will require us to pressure wash the entire exterior, followed by a wash, clay bar and then polishing the paint and a full interior detail including mold removal

    Phenomenal! Love the 80's style music to match the car's era too.

    I like and agree with your approach to certain aspects of the work. For example, the risk of snapping a seat mount bolt and 1 stepping thin clearcoat.

    Nicely done. These jobs are, in my opinion, the most satisfying to do.

    Thank you for sharing that with us.

    Thanks! Working on the paint on these older cars can be hard to gauge what to do since the history can be hard to find. This one had original paint but I believe it was original single stage paint. Only thing that could fix it is to wet sand and clear or respray
