The Police Car came out absolutely astonishing!
First a huge thank you to all the guys that showed up to pick up where my class left off and take the paint all the way to completion... great job guys!

And here's the beauty shots...
This car was machine sanded twice by the students in my May Detailing Boot Camp Class, once with #1500 and a second time with #3000 grit discs. The it was compounded and polished using Meguiar's M100 Pro Speed Compound and M205 Ultra Polish. My class did all this in about 5 hours and had the paint about 90% done.
Tonight, we re-compounded to ensure all the sanding marks were removed from the lowest portions of the body panels and around all the raised body lines that were taped off. After that we machine applied Pinnacle Souveran Paste Wax.
A great Tag-Team effort by both my class and my core group of local car guys...

Mike, another good experience working on the car last night. I'm almost starting to think I know what I'm doing. The most helpful part as you know is watching the professional guys. So, see you next time. Thanks, Den

Here's a picture of a restored 1971 Plymouth Fury Patrol Car I found on the web. Jim only has a few more modification to make and his should look pretty much like this example...

What an awesome outcome from paint blimishs on the hood to mirror finish, Jeff your a machine. Funny how life comes full circle from being on the wrong side of the police to helping them with two jobs now, never saw this one coming!
Re: Pictures: Wetsand, Cut & Buff 1971 Fury Police Car!
Great job. Can I come play with the siren?

This is definitely one of my favorites. I had owned an old Plymouth.
