I call detailing this category of vehicle,
Beater Detailing
This truck was BEAT. The class used rotary polishers and just laid into her. Around any paint that was lifting - of course you work carefully. Besides that - we pushed HARD on the polishers and carved off years of oxidized paint. The end results are nothing short of incredible.
As noted above - I'm doing laundry and filling out paper work, lots of paper work. Tomorrow I'm shooting a few videos and our LIVE Detailing Class. Friday, I have some cars to detail.
BUT sometime next week I should be able to get to the pictures showing the people in this class buffing out all the cars including the 1951 Chevy.
Like Jeff shown here
CHOPPING on the rusty chrome grill using the UDOS in rotary mode....
The transformation is nothing short of incredible!
In a spot like on the door where there was what looked to be a blistering rust spot, would you tape that off and not buff it at all, or would you just lightly go around it and hope none of the blistering peels off in a chunk?

The owner was going to get the truck painted - not now.

One of the things I teach and stress in my detail classes is,
Don't do stupid stuff
So I told/taught the class to not buff on any areas of paint where it looks like if the edge of your buffing pad were to CATCH on "something" then don't buff ON IT - just buff around it. All you have to do is look at where the edge of your buffing pad is and slow-down and be careful.
Maybe you'll have the opportunity to take one of my classes some day. They are a lot of fun. There are ZERO other classes like this one.

Here's the same pads you see above with GREEN paint on them as they come out of the old school Agitator style washing machine. Impressive.
What detergent did you use on them ? Must be a whole lot better than what I am using (Griot's MF & Pad Cleaner) in my "old school agitator-style" machine.
