72 Avanti II - Pinnacle Souveran Jeweling Wax and Pinnacle Paste Wax
Just finished this puppy today. Beautiful, beautiful color to work with.
Car was wet sanded and compounded twice before coming to me.
Lots and lots of compound in all the crevasses and edges. Took forever to get off! Got about 70 to 75 % taken out.
Love, love working with that Pinnacle jeweling wax! Cuts very nice w/o dusting.
And Pinnacle paste wax really sets it apart!
Washed wheels/tires and dried.
Wheels were HydroBlue'd.
Rinseless washed and dried.
Paint was clay barred and dried.
"OPW" compound was removed. Started with water, then moved to 50% Isopropyl Alcohol. Much quicker---but still, took time to remove.
Remove areas of wet sanding that was not completed by the body shop with Rupes yellow and yellow pad.
Polished paint with Pinnacle Jeweling Wax and Rupes white pads. Wow...wow...! Loved working with this---was a fun, zen-like process.
Sealed with Pinnacle Paste wax.
Chrome polished with Mother's.
Inner and outer glass cleaned.
Interior floors vacuumed.
OK...will get off computer and use tapatalk to post pics.
Will be pic heavy!
Enjoy
Tom

Rims...yeah. Surprised anyone noticed. Those are Hilbrand rims and only 850 were made. The owner was able get hands on six before they were sold out!
If I understand correctly---these rims were knockoffs of the original rims that were used at the Bonneville Salt flats.
