"An unusual one for you - a 1956 Chevrolet Pickup requiring some paint correction work and a tidy up. I started out the detail by foaming the exterior with a mix of snow foam and Meguiar's All Purpose Cleaner. While this was left to dwell, I tackled the chrome wheels with a very weak solution of Autosmart Smart Wheels. I then rinsed everything and washed the bodywork with Swissvax Car Bath, using the two bucket method and a lambswool wash mitt. After another rinse I removed some tar spots with Autosmart Tardis and then clayed with Meguiar's Mild Detailing Clay to make sure the paint was 100% contaminant free.

After a final rinse and careful dry off with microfibre drying towels, I then broke out my rotary polisher and started work on the paint defects. Most of the marring and random scratches responded really well to a combination of Menzerna RD3.02 and a Lake Country Hydro-Tech Cutting Pad, but a few areas required extra work with wet and dry paper, followed by Menzerna S500. With the correction done, I then gently refined the finish using a combination of Menzerna 85RD and Swissvax Professional Cleaner Fluid, this time on Lake Country Hydro-Tech Finishing Pads.

With the paint now looking spot on, it was time to add a durable coat of protection. For ease of use and durability, I chose Duragloss 111. I then finished up by taking care of all the little details. The exterior chrome was gently polished and protected with Meguiar's NXT All Metal Polysh. The tyres were dressed with Blackfire Total Eclipse Tyre Gel, and the glass was cleaned with Autosmart Glass. The interior was wiped down with Meguiar's All Purpose Cleaner, and the seats were washed with Autosmart Brisk. I busted my gut on this one, but the end result was worth it; so good you could shave in it!"
