What's up guys today in the Detail Garage we have something special for you.
This is a 1962 Corvette, it is beautiful but it has been sitting so it has some minor scratches
and swirls.
The wheels are polished aluminum and they are covered in oxidation which dulls out the finish.
We started off by using EcoSmart to take care of the dirt and debris that was sitting on
the surface.
We're going to move to a clay bar service because as I mentioned, this car has scratches
and swirls so we definitely need to polish it.
Before we get to that, we are going to polish these wheels.
They look kind of dull and the overall appeal of the car is taken away when the wheels aren't
on point.
I have the Ball Buster Drill Attachment and Light Metal Polish to cut through the oxidation
to bring back that high shine.
So lets get started.
We'll apply some lines to the applicator and spread it over these American Racing Torque Thrust wheels.
Although these wheels aren't original to the vehicle, they are actually a rendition of
the classic American Racing wheels from the 60's.
So it is still period correct for these wheels to be on the car but me personally, I'd rather
have the stock hub caps.
They still look pretty cool so we're going to polish them up and revive the shine.
Just spreading this out a little bit and polish it to a high shine.
Wow!
You can see that the Ball Buster has done an amazing job to restore the shine.
Just between this spoke and this spoke there is a night and day difference.
It took virtually no effort, normally doing this by hand would take hours and a lot of
effort but by using the Ball Buster it easily took care of it and I still have energy to
finish the other wheels.
So I'm going to finish this wheel and the remaining three and then jump on the body.
Alright guys, we're moving right along with the detail on this Corvette.
We just finished a clay bar service using the OG Clay Bar which made the paint nice
and smooth and that brings us to our next step in the detailing process.
The vehicle still has a lot of scratches so we're going to polish it.
This being a fiberglass body we don't want to use something too aggressive so we're going
to use Phase 5, which is a polish designed specifically for fiberglass, gel coats and
paint.
It is mostly for vehicles such as this Corvette.
I have my TORQ 10FX set up with an Orange Pad which is going to refine the compound
into a nice polish to reveal a nice shine.
Before we started I'll shake up the bottle and apply five dime size drops to the pad.
We'll also spray it with some Pad Conditioner to lubricate the pad as well as the polish
so it won't go dry over the surface causing marring or bad finish.
We'll start on a small section of the hood.
Blotching it out and on the lowest speed setting I'll spread it over the area that I'm working
on and then I'll bump it up to the highest speed setting to start polishing.
We're finally at the last step of our detail on this Corvette.
We washed it with EcoSmart, clayed it using the OG Clay Bar, polished using Phase V and
now we're going to tackle the interior.
There's dust, fingerprints and debris sitting in here, so we're going to use Total Interior
to clean and protect all of the surfaces in here.
It won't add any shine but it will protect against UV rays as well as repel stains.
To control over spray I'll mist it on the towel and wipe off the dashboard.
Starting over here where I can see there is a lot of dust and some fingerprints.
You can see the transformation with this bright finish compared to the muted dull dusty side.
This is going to help protect and rejuvenate the surface.
