This car is owned by a customer of mine that i was referred to him for motorcycle detailing . On the first appointment after i finished his Harley Davidson he showed me all his cool projects and collections . one of those was this cool 1960 Biscayne he has owned for over 15 years. throughout the ownership he`s only maintained it with a detail spray, also the vehicle sits in storage to only come out for specific car shows. then it goes right back into storage. the conversation about the car ended with "one of these days ill have you detail this car"...... fast track to two years and i get a call that he wants me to come out and do some work on the Biscayne.

The car got a waterless wash ,clay, only the wheels got pressure cleaned ,i did a mix of 105,101,100 to get a super fast cut with my metabo rotary and a yellow cutting foam pad ,polish was 205 with a green mild polish foam pad lsp was mothers finishing carnauba . i don`t have any pictures of the damage the vehicle had due to time schedule,with only one day of work. being that the show was next day so i had to move and move fast i did .
