    Chevy nova detail.

    Just did a full detail with my new rupes 21. I used it on my chevelle but it was just a section here or ther. I was bored today and the weather sucked so i went and detailed my brothers 1970 nova. The nova was in great shape it was just painted last spring. All i can say is I love this new rupes 21. Its much better then my old flex. I'm not beat after doing a detail like i was with the flex, i love i don't have to fight the machine and it just a pleasure to use. NOw i need the 3" one. THe pics aren't the best because the sun wasn't out and i took the pics with my phone.

    used
    wiped down with blackfire waterless wash.
    clayed with new nanoskin speedy prep sponge and BFWW
    rupes 21
    rupes yellow polish pads
    meguiars microfiber cutting disc
    fg400
    topped with BFWD, might put BFMS over don't know yet.

    Nice work on a sweet looking Nova!

    I used to have a 68 in high school with a 327 and power-glide. I couldn't kill that tranny no matter how many burnouts or neutral drops I did.

    ITs a 355. I just used the mf pad with the fg400 on the roof. It had some swirls and scratches i couldn't get out with my optimum spray polish. After using the fg400 on the roof it was lsp ready and was very easy to use. I did forget to add i used the optimum spray polish on the whole car with a rupes yellow pad except the roof.

    It was faster but the nova is a garage queen so it really didnt need it.

    Why the Rupes over the Flex? Still wondering because I am debating on my next machine.

    Thank You
