Carl Eagle Posted August 6, 2010 Report Share Posted August 6, 2010 Ok, so I have been on vacation this week and showed the SS a little attention. Here is a few pics of the progress. And after 3 days of wetsanding, buffing, polishing, and waxing this is the payoff. What do you think? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlueAKSSS Posted August 6, 2010 Report Share Posted August 6, 2010 Looks good, I love wet sanded and buffed paint jobs, I've tried my hand at it a few times and surprised myself on how easy it is on a new paint job that had orange peal in the clear. Wish my ss had a nice shiny new paint job look! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fireman31 Posted August 7, 2010 Report Share Posted August 7, 2010 Again Carl, very nice job. That is quite the transformation from how she looked when you bought her. This marks the second frame-off SSS restoration known to the forum. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
