    Re: Live Video Broadcast - 1947 Chevy & 1986 Porsche 928 - Extreme Makeovers

    Mike, it was fun working with you guys. I hope Lou remembered everything I was trying to teach him. He got to use the flex and the pc using the new HT pads with the BF compound. What a great combo! It was cool to meet some of the other forum members as well and its always a pleasure to work with Adam and of course you lol.

    Re: Live Video Broadcast - 1947 Chevy & 1986 Porsche 928 - Extreme Makeovers

    Since we were working on two projects tonight, I did the test spot on the 1947 Chevy Roadster Pickup and Robert DiTerlizzi did the Test Spot on the 1986 Porsche 928, here's what the finish on the 1947 Chevy Pickup looked like,






    After doing some testing here's what we went with,

    1947 Chevy Roadster Pickup

    Pinnacle Ultra Poly Clay and Pinnacle Clay Lube

    BLACKFIRE Scratch Resistant Clear Compound

    BLACKFIRE Scratch Resistant Clear Finishing Polish

    BLACKFIRE Midnight Sun Ivory Carnauba Paste Wax


    1986 Porsche 928

    Pinnacle Ultra Poly Clay and Pinnacle Clay Lube

    Wolfgang Total Swirl Remover 3.0

    Wolfgang Finishing Glaze

    Wolfgang Füzion Carnauba Polymer Estate Wax


    After the Test Spots were dialed-in and a few people new to claying and machine polishing were given some hands-on training, everyone went to work!


    Kyle using the Flex 3401 with a 5" Blue Hybrid Light Cutting Pad



    The owner Louie using a PC 7424XP with a 5.5" Tangerine Hydro-Tech Pad



    Robert using a Flex 3401 with a 6.6" Tangerine Hydro-Tech Pad



    Ray from Customer Care was your host on the forum... (Thanks Ray!)



    Jeff using the DeWALT 849X with a 4" Tangerine Hydro-Tech Foam Polishing Pad



    Here's Rene and Kyle tackling the passenger side panels



    Louie working the roof, note the sunroof gasket is taped off...



    Scott aka courtsider using the Flex 3401 with a Cyan Hydro-Tech Pad






    DiJuan working the Meguiar's G110v2



    Here's Jon working a Porter Cable 7424XP on the hood...



    Adam removing oxidation and restoring the shine to the factory bare aluminum wheels, later Adam took a Flex PE14 Rotary to them and really brought out the shine.



    DiJuan in the back and Joel up front...



    Kyle and Rene going at it...



    Louie machine applying Wolfgang Fuzion using a Crimson Hydro-Tech Pad



    Not a lot of room in-between vehicles but Rene still gets the wax on all the paint...



    DiJuan polishing the ribs of the running board by hand using a polish and a soft Finger Pocket



    Scott aka courtsider compounding the bed...



    On the left is Dwight wiping compound residue off and on the left is Scott machine compounding paint...






    Louie wearing microfiber gloves carefully wiping the Wolfgang Fuzion off...






    He Rene! Don't look at me focus on the task at hand!



    And try not to look like you're having so much fun!



    Here's Lew, the owner of the 1947 Chevy Truck learning how to machine polish, I'm behind him working on the passenger side door.



    Dwight in the lower right wiping polish residue off the fender... we might see Dwight back with his Dad's 1935 Hudson

    And here's the beauty shots...












    Todd Helm and I polished the diamond plate bed out but ran out of time to seal it so Kyle sealed it using BLACKFIRE Wet Diamond Metal Acrylic Sealant. Now it sparkles like a diamond and it's protected too!




    See more pictures of the extreme makeover of the diamond plate bed here,

    Diamond Plate Aluminum from Dullsville to Mirror Shine on a 1947 Chevy Pickup

    Dullsville



    Mirror Shine



    Here's the view from the driver's seat...



    Louie's Porsche came out looking like it just rolled out of the Porsche Dealership's show room in 1986

    And here's how we get those hood shots...



    Here's what a water-cooled, aluminum V-8 looks like stuffed into the engine compartment...
