Chase@Adams Posted April 13, 2013 Report Share Posted April 13, 2013 This was a VERY interesting client. He came to me THROUGH a local hotrod builder, but had the builder bring me the car. This Chevelle was actually delivered by the shop owner after he installed a new Vintage Air system in it. The car was actually built by another shop in Tennessee, but the client just moved to Alabama. He's been burned in the past, quite badly, so Tim (shop owner here in town, that delivered me the car) are out to win him over. You'll find out if that happened at at the end of this writeup!! For the budget, we were shooting for about 85% correct. Here's how the bomb got built: Clean wheels with Adam's Waterless Wash & Adam's Green Wheel Cleaner Clean tires with Adam's All Purpose Cleaner & Adam's Fender Brush Clean vehicle with Adam's Waterless Wash & Waterless Wash towels Adam's Clay Bar, Adam's Detail Spray, & Adam's Single Soft towel on entire vehicle Taped up vehicle with Adam's Detailer's Tape & 2" blue painters tape Used Flex 3401, Adam's Green Pad, & another compound to make 3-4 passes on all panels Adam's Metal Polish #1 & #2 on bumpers & wheels, with Adam's Metal Polish 4" focus pad Alcohol wipedown vehicle Protect entire vehicle with Adam's Machine Super Sealant on Adam's Gray pad & Flex 3401 on speed 2 Initial buff & final "cured" buff with Adam's Doublesoft Towel & Adam's Detail Spray Nourish tires with Adam's SVRT Wipedown fender wells with Adam's Waterless Wash & dirty job towel Vacuum interior Clean seats, console, and door panels with Adam's Leather/Interior Cleaner Nourish dash, seats, & doors with Adam's Leather Conditioner Quick wipedown in engine bay with Adam's Detail Spray & dirty job towel, and nourish a few hoses with Adam's SVRT Clean interior & exterior glass with Adam's Glass Cleaner & Towel ON TO THE PICS!!! Here's how this poor baby arrived Kicked off the party: Next step: During Polishing: Driver's lower door before: Driver's lower door after: Makin' some progress on the trunk: I don't know if it was the car, but I was even feelin' "old school" on my music this day, lol....

Chase@Adams Posted April 13, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 13, 2013 Love the little Metabo for areas like these: Dirty wheels: Hittin' those bumpers with the good stuff! After compounding/polishing, time for a quick wipe with a Singlesoft towel & IPA mix, to prep for the sealant: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chase@Adams Posted April 13, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 13, 2013 I don't normally get to use this sealant, due to the cure time, but I had this car overnight so I was STOKED to "lay it down" Sealant curing: Interior loved with my fave 1-2 punch! Untreated vs. Treated: BAM! Quickies of the engine bay, didn't spend much time in here, but HAD to show this, otherwise I'd have been SCOLDED!!! Final shots!

Chase@Adams Posted April 13, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 13, 2013 The client was "over the moon" with his excitement for the end result! Said we were the FIRST two guys to take his money, and actually DELIVER on what we promised!! He's got over 30 classics & hotrods, so we'll see where this leads!! Thanks for looking! And as always, I'm here if you have any questions! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
