Technically, there was a long arc scratch there but leave no swirl behind sounded better than leave no scratch behind...

Time to chemically strip the paint - this is where you really have to be careful or you’ll put scratches back into the paint

This was actually a "Bucket List" car for me, first time I ever buffed out a 1935 Ford.

How do I get on the bucket list. Very nice as always. It don’t get any better than that.....

The bad thing was, the clearcoat on this car was SUPER HARD. The paint only had light or shallow swirls and scratches. But it took compound, a foam cutting pad and a LOT OF DOWNWARD PRESSURE on the BEAST to clean her up.
I've seen this car around town at a few car shows and it still looks great. I also noticed it's for sale. It has a huge 500+ cubic inch fuel injected engine and a full pro-built roll cage. It's definitely race-ready.
