1970 Ford Capri, holograms . . . correction . . . stunner!!!

[Aaryn NZ]

Hey folks.

The same day Mike had the team working on the Ford Capri Perana in his Competition Ready Class, I set about correcting the body shop induced holograms on this 1970 Ford Capri, 8000+ miles away in a little detailing shop in New Zealand.

I hadn't seen the Capri before it had arrived, & as soon as it pulled up outside the shop door, with the sun beating down on it - HOLOGRAMS!!! I'll skip my rant on holograms, body shops etc but I will add, this Capri was covered in overspray from sitting in the body shop, & I mean covered. It felt like 100 grit sand paper. After a lengthy decontamination process a test spot revealed Pinnacles Advanced Swirl Remover was the perfect choice for correcting the holograms & finished down beautifully as always. So, Pinnacle Advanced Swirl Remover on an Orange LC Hybrid via Flex 3401 done the deed there, & for something a little different I went with CarPro's Essence+ as an LSP on CarPro Gloss Pads, again, the Flex 3401.

Right, picture time! As it turned up -





















Pretty ugly huh? Sorry, limited time on this one so I don't have any photos of the workings or 50/50 pictures.
Here is the Capri finished & sitting in the Summer sunshine, looking much better.































Thank you all for checking in & having a look.

Nice little car. Boy! the dirty tires in the before pictures kind of makes the car look like an old POS. Not true anymore. That's an appropriate color for a 1970's car.

How do you like using Essence Plus as an LSP? I have done a few Essence with Essence Plus on top details and the finish fantastic. The paint looks so smooth. Closest thing to wetsanding.

Yeah that color is VERY 70's!

I always loved the styling of that car, I like the round headlights much more but that style was WAAAAY ahead of its time because they look like modern headlights from the past 25 years or so.

Thanks for sharing 👍👍

Loved those when they came out, but same as Klasse, I liked the round lights better too.

Thanks for doing that car right.........
