1970 Chevy Monte Carlo & Blackfire One Step

Thanks all for the feedback. Just some additional info...

I applied McKee's 37 Tire Coating to the TIRES - not the side pipes. The wheels looked good from a distance but up close, they were all pitted so I didn't do anything to them other than clean them with Meg's D143 non-acid wheel & tire cleaner. Good stuff btw.

Mike's feedback regarding my process was 100% spot on and something he taught us last year at the detailing class at Lake Country Mfg. I did in fact use the more aggressive orange cutting pads on the hood and trunk and went back over it with the white pad in the hopes of making those big panels look their best.

I tend to use a LOT of pads. Yes, I probably use more product by doing this(you have to prime each one and then apply your working product), but I find it's faster just to switch to a clean dry pad and continue on vs cleaning on the fly, etc. I tend to work the product heavy or wet, which allows me to work a larger area than 2 x 2 and gets me to the finish line faster

Sadly, I can't seem to figure out how to load my pics into my gallery and then include them as part of my post, so I end up adding the pics as thumbnails. I've read all of Mike's tutorials and still no luck.

Awesome work and write up!

Did a Chevrolet Caprice '70 with a 454 original a couple of weeks ago. The panels as you say is awesome to work on and no tapeing is nice too.
