    1963 Ford Galaxie Fire Dept

    HI guys
    I had the privilege of cleaning and 1-stepping this beautiful 1963 Galaxie.
    The customer wanted us to remove some water stains on the paint and glass.

    The paint was ORIGINAL! So says the customer, I could not see any indication that it was repainted, plus the last guys to touch it, burnt through the hood edges.

    Anyway the paint was in good condition, so we off we went.

    Foamed & washed, paint was smooth and well taken care of no clay needed.

    PCXP with Softbuff 2.0 Polishing Pad with D151

    It cleaned up the water stains perfectly.

    Waxed with DA Microfiber Waxing Pad and D301

    Back glass was also original, so I was careful.
    Used DA Microfiber Cutting Pad, and D300 and lightly polished until they came out.

    Here comes the pics:







    Since the paint was OLD, I really did not want to go any further on this paint. The swirls were still present but the water stains where gone which is what the customer wanted.
    The paint shines though, looks muchos better.
