    ‘71 Suburban single stage paint help

    Today’s offering to the detail gods. This thing has cool factor to the nines. Washed, decon’d, clayed, and buffed it out with Blackfire One Step. Lastly, I polished out the aluminum mags with Blackfire metal polish.

    I used to tow around my race car in the 1970s with one of these.

    Re: ‘71 Suburban single stage paint help

    Personally if that were mine and I wanted to keep the originality but just clean it up a bit, I'd hit it with the comet cleanser treatment followed by a wipe with some high silicone, oily protectant.

    I just can't see myself taking the time to decon, clay, buff, polish and wax something in that condition.

    But that is coming from a bodyman/painter, not a detailer per se. And I'm certainly not putting down the effort or results, just giving my opinion on how I would approach such a project.
