    94' Formula Firebird (Re-Hatched)

    Process:

    Wash:


    Zaino Clay Bar
    2-bucket wash

    Correction:

    Megs Burgandy Wool w/ Menzerna Powergloss
    LC Orange w/ M205
    LC Blue w/ Menzerna P085rd
    Wet sanded w/ megs 2000/3000 unigrit

    LSP:

    Pinnacle Souveran Wax

    Trim/Wheels/Tires:
    Black Again on trim
    Wheels got a coat of wheel wax
    Tires got a coat of DP Tire Gel








    another hammered/oxidized black car....what did I sign myself up for? laugh.gif:

    Rear bumper was brought back to life:



    What was once bird etchings and sap from years ago:



    is now gone:




    50/50 shot of the roof. (hard to tell the difference in this picture due to lighting)




    So here's a close-up:



    Some NASTY deep scratches were found on the hood, so I wet sanded them.




    Also wet sanded 3-year old sap left on the hood:



    After about 2 hours of polishing/sanding we have a 50/50 shot:



    And another



    (obviously the left side untouched)

    All I could snap today. It's completely finished. When the owner picks it up and I do a final wipedown/trim/window treatment, I will snap some "full shots" outside of the car completely finished.

























    Only shots I could get of it, as I was in a rush to get to the gym and finish up my day before dark.

    I Do not think I would call this a detail, more like restoration work! GREAT JOB! What a project that must have been to bring that paint back to life! Hats off to you!
