    RUPES Cyclo Detailing Class - Pictures of Cyclo in action!

    RUPES Cyclo Detailing Class - Pictures of Cyclo in action!



    This is a 1950 Ford Custom Convertible. The paint had hologram swirl scratches from a rotary buffer the the last time it was buffed out.

    My class did a multiple-step show car paint polishing process to remove the swirls and restore a swirl-free flawless finish.

    After the machine compounding, machine polishing and machine waxing we went over the proper techniques for removing wax.

    Nice looking class, awesome looking car! For a minute I pictured a Cyclo with dual 21mm heads.....

    Of course, pictures of a beautiful shiny car don't mean much without the before pictures.

    Here's the 1950 Ford Custom Convertible in the sun to highlight and reveal the current condition. As she sits right now every inch of the paint is filled with swirls and holograms.

    My normal practice is to frame-up the shot to show you the general area of the car. Like the hood, a fender, trunk lid etc.

    Then take a close up of the actual focal point where the sun, the flash from my camera or a swirl finder light is documenting the issue.

    Holograms
    Besides the circular swirl scratches you can also see the tale-tale signs of holograms from the misuse of a rotary buffer.

    Beautiful car. Nice paint job. Just needs some machine polishing to restore her back to her original, just out of the paint booth glory.

    Swirls are so much uglier on really nice cars... Nice job taking them off, and installing the gloss!

    Totally agree. Not fair to the car.

    The work was all done by the class, most of who had never used a Cyclo polisher before this class. They did a GREAT job!

    The owner picks up his car today, I think he's going to be blown away. He also has a black 1940 Ford Coupe. We may see his 1940 Ford here at Autogeek for our January Detailing Class.
