Today's Detail 1967 Ford Fairlane 500

Just a basic detail was in order. Another repaint that wasn't sanded so the OP is all over in some areas. Did what I could. Owner wanted it shiny and protected.

One quick before:



PROCESS:

AA wash
Clay
105/OC mix Orange Pad Flex3401
Poli Seal Green Pad Flex3401
Magic Wax PCXP 3M Black Polishing Pad
FK1 FX100
Turtle Wax Tire Gel x2
Inv. Glass Inside & Out

Very nice detail on a great classic! What can you say about Magic Wax's durability? I had a new tub, but lost it while moving to a new home. Is it still available, and from where?

Re: Today's Detail 1967 Ford Fairlane 500

Thank you guys!!!

Magic Wax - most durable wax I have tried, (65% carnauba) which helps.

2 layers lasted all winter in NoVa.

Very wet and glossy.

Great looking car, assuming it has a 390 under the hood it ought to move decently too.
