1972 Corvette Stingray - Extreme Makeover - Process and Products Used


First, here's the products we used to restore a show car shine to this classic 1972 Corvette


First we wiped the car down to get it clean using DP Waterless Auto Wash




Then we clayed the paint, chrome and glass using Pinnacle Ultra Poly-Clay and Pinnacle Clay Lubricant



Then we tested Prima Cut and Prima Swirl with 6.5" Purple Foamed Wool Pads on Flex 3401 Forced Rotation Dual Action Polishers and also using small prototype buffing pads on a Flex PE14 using an extension adapter.



After removing all the majority of the deeper defects we machine polished the paint using 6.5" Crimson Hydro-Tech Finishing Pads and Prima Finish



Next we machine applied Prima Banana Gloss using Flex 3401 DA Polishers with Griot's Garage Waxing Pads



We topped the Prima Banana with Dodo Juice Banana Armor using LC Gold 5.5" Jeweling pads on both a Meguiar's G110v2 and a Porter Cable 7424XP



We used Microfiber Gloves to hold the wax after removing it out of the jar...




We used CarPro Erasure to inspect our results during our Test Spot



We used Diamondite Glass and Surface Cleaner to clean the glass...



We used the Brinkmann Swirl Finder to inspect our results...
