Nope. I don't get past the Rockies very often for car stuff. I was planning on Drag Week this year, but that's iffy...

Hmm, I thought I would have more responses by now.

Did I mention the Buick has a 401ci V8 with 445 Ft/Lbs of torque?

I'd do Layla, but seeing as how she has all 3 different shades of Medium Red plus some spray paint as a "paint job" she'd probably look worse...

Lol, . I see these kinds of changes all the time over on LS1tech, but not usually to a car like that. Now that's how the thing should look. I'd love to get my car clayed polished waxed buffed all that done, but I don't think there are any places here in AZ that do that kind of work.

Great job.

Nice work Mike! My Fairlane could use that but I doubt it would do any good. I guess there's no way to bring dead paint that now looks chalky back to life is there?

5.0willgo,
That's exactly what I did to the Buick. It can be done.

87crzy,
That's why I use such a good polisher with a proven mode setup, no "dead arms" the next day.

O'really? Hmmm. Looks like I'll be thoroughly reading through your supplies list and procedure.

Do you know of anything good to take out tree sap that has been stuck on for 20 years?

Claybar and BigOrange take care of tree sap.

I sell the full line of Tropi-Care and am currently "working them over" for specials for us at FTCF.

Dakotaepic: Arizona sun is harsh on paint. I bought my truck from my cousin who drove to Arizona. I spent hours polshing the bedsides with a pneumatical air polisher. It needs a bad repaint, the clearcoat is chipping off. So when I get time up here it will get a fresh coat of Midnight Black to freshen it up and one hell of a smooth clearcoat.

Too bad you weren't closer. I'd pay you to do my car so I'd save my back
