My neighbor and I bartered a deal for him to cut my lawn for the summer in exchange for me to detail his 72 chevy pick up.



The truck looks to be in good condition. the paint is original and looks good less a few minor flaws.



I am going to polish the truck but i'm not sure where to start and i'm looking some suggestions.



I have a Flex and a PC



Pads. LC CCS 6.5 inch in Yellow, Orange, Course Green, Green, White, Black, Blue, and Red



LC 5 inch flat pads in Orange, White, and Black



LC Hydro Pads in Cyan, Tangerine, and Crimson



Polishes. Megs 105/205. Poorboys SSR1 and 2.5. Mens 106, 203, and SIP. HD UNO.



I was thinking of trying HD UNO on a white pad and seeing what that would do.



Or maybe Menz 203 on a white or orange pad.



What do you guys think? Where would you start? :buffing:
 
Old paint must be handled with care. What color is it? how bad are the swirls? Remember, start with the least aggressive and go up. Try 105 on a tang pad first. Don't be afraid if you see the pad turn the same color as the car. Hope you have multiples of the same pad b/c they will cake up after 1-2 panels and you'll want to get a fresh pad.
 
it's light blue. Paint is in good shape for being as old as it is. I was thinking of trying something much less aggressive then 105 on this truck first considering it's my most aggressive polish....
