Sharkpolitur Escort Service detailing/restoring original Single Stage Paint on MCMLXXXII Red Corvette
Good friend called recently to restore her 1982 Red Corvette, the paint is all original single stage, all interior, motor, wheels, exterior parts are original. This is V8 5.7L Cross-Fire Injection 200HP classic muscle US sport car. Everything works tip-top & she wants to enjoy it to the maximum, the summer is coming. We have a lot of fun in Tel Aviv.
Hi Sharky, here are you & I am calling you
Hi babe, you look great
You really think so?
Sure.
Let's go to see the car, I want to start restoring it immediately, the day is short...
This is my Red Corvette, what do you think? Brought it 1.5Y ago from Chicago, didn't had time to take appearance care of it till now, in the summer it will be my daily driver...please make it shine like my red lipstick
Don't worry darling, everything will be taken care of, you too
Door locks, all other moving parts needed penetration (I prefer this word rather than rust removal spray, what do you think?), Sandra told me that sometimes door handles work, sometimes she has to open first the right door & then left from the inside.
Have you ever used a vacuum cleaner for the engine? I just did
Everything will be taken care of, this inner bonnet too.
All electronics contacts were cleaned, sorry, penetrated.
Dirt, dirt & more dirt plus deadly oxidized paint, have you ever seen something like this?

In 1.5 hour engine clean & antistatic protected + water repellent + electronic contacts sprayed again

The 1982 Cross-Fire Injection Red Corvette is all originally restored, all next pictures will be fun & Grand Finale, my strategy here was to keep the paint look completely natural without going deep & hard into it, that's why all the work is a hand job
Paint was very healthy (before they knew to paint the cars in USA) but fine, so carefully but surely I moved forward without risking everything, probably that's why people just leave me their cars & go. Sandra's Corvette got 66778 miles into it & she paid 350% import tax to bring it here so whatever this car worth in USA multiply it by X3.5
We are very happy about the day brought us together, I wish her during the summer to burn the wheels completely (she does it) & make the men crazy with her Red Corvette.
If you have boring questions about the step by step I made here, just ask I know the answers, if you want to learn from me how to restore single stage paint by hand I doubt you'll learn anything because this is Sharkpolitur - hardcore, random, chaotic style detailing operations. You better look for answers somewhere else. So into the pics.
Here I just placed camera on the hood & started to shoot
Go to call Sandra, I need your help baby we will put now some good additive (elixir I told her) into your big & black Red Corvette engine
My Red Corvette, my red corvette, my red corvette
And more Red Corvette pics
After photo session & some kind of break...I came back relaxed & sprayed paint again with detailer
It ain't over before it's all over...I think you guys want more of Sandra's Corvette pics
