Re: Rasky's Auto Detailing: '66 Corvette 427/425hp wet sand and buff
Awesome job Rasky. Those were my favorite corvettes, but those wheels are just about one of the ugliest I've ever seen.

Super job Rasky. What did you do around the emblems? Did you remove them or just worked around? How did you get the sand marks out around the hood scoop? Sorry for all the questions.

Unfortunately I had to tape off the emblems…not something I like doing, and it’s also why a car should be wet sanded properly before putting the car back together. I taped all panels all about ¼ inch from the edge when sanding. If you ever wet sanded before it’s not easy removing the sanding marks when they are super close to an edge. I tried to get as close as possible to all edges, and at the same time leaving it easy to buff out.
If you look as some of the after pics you can see the peel still next to the emblems…harder to see outside though.

My gawd Rasky! I still can't get over the way you finish those tires. That subdued look, I love it! The way you confidently just move forward with the sanding, the buffing and bringing out the final brilliance is just too much! Amazing Rasky! Do you ever have like, a couple... or several cars lined up, ready to go into treatment, much to the chagrine, dismay and disillusionment of your unemployed (ain't worked in over a year) neighbors?!...LOL. And I'll say it again...Detailing God, Mirror Finish!
