Re: Preservation Project - Green Machine
The finished result looks amazing; what kind of dressing did you put on after you finished with the cleaning process?

Re: Preservation Project - Green Machine
That looks great Darrell, I am glad to see someone else really getting the grain clean... the appearance is so much different when it is actually clean. It looks so much better than reproduction, it has character. It takes a lot of work to actually get down into the grain it really takes using light pressure so the ends of the brush don't roll over they have to stand up to get the ends into the grain.
Have you used any of the Meguires #7 glaze on the paint?

Re: Preservation Project - Green Machine
Great job, and thanks for all of the pics. I really need to do the same thing to my '68 as the top and interior are almost exactly the same condition as yours pre-cleaning.

Re: Preservation Project - Green Machine
Yes it is a lot of work but well worth the effort.
There is such an enormous difference in the before and after it's a no brainer.

Re: Preservation Project - Green Machine
I am definitely going to try this product for my car. Mine is paint from the 80's and there's some small spots that I'd rather not flood with water to hasten the deterioration process.

Re: Preservation Project - Green Machine
Looks great! They make a jobber bottle of glaze for less if you need a decent amount.
