    Something different. 1968 AMC Rebel SST convertible!!!

    So this job has been on the books for a while now as he wanted it completed before a upcoming show this weekend. These Rebel SST convertibles are quite rare from what Ive been told. This particular one has the original interior still and has had some paint work done over the years. This was a challenge as some paint was single stage and other areas had a very very very hard base/clear. The goal here was to bring the gloss and clarity back while not causing any more harm. Special attention was paid to areas with thin paint, chipping edges etc etc.

    So the car got a 2 step on most of the major panels except for the hood and one of the rear quarters that had base/clear on them. Those areas had some very bad sanding marks, holograms etc and needed some rotary/wool action first.

    Tools- Rupes 21 Mark ll, Flex Pe14, Rupes duetto, Flex Pe8, Adams swirl killer mini

    Products- M100, Hyper polish, Carpro clearcut

    Pads- Boss microfiber cutting pads, TB wool, Rupes yellow, meguiars microfiber pads

    LSP- Mckees trademark carnauba wax

    Wheels/tires- mckees waterless wash, mckees gloss tire gel

    Prep- Mckees waterless wash, light nanoskin handy towel

    Interior- mckees fast interior detailer


    arrival








    finished!
