Had the pleasure of polishing out this killer Buick T-Type over the weekend. Car has a fully built motor, champion heads, champion intake, E85 fuel, Built trans etc etc...


Surprisingly the car is pretty well kept. And for his budget a nice one step polish with a wax was perfect.


1. Washed with Meguiars Gold class shampoo. 2BM
2. Light decon with Nanoskin fine grade wash mitt.
3. Polished with PF2500, 3401 speed 5.5, Orange CCS pad.
4. Topped with Pinnacle Black Label Synergy
5. Wheels were kind of rough so I did a light polish with Mothers Mag Aluminum polish.
6. Tires cleaned with Tuff Shine Tire Cleaner, dressed with UTTG
7. Burnt Rubber removed with Mothers R3 rubber remover
8. Chrome polished with Turtle wax chrome polish.
9. Glass cleaned with Griots Speed Shine.

I had a new one in 1984 !!
A Black Beauty like this one !!!
Extremely fast, and great mileage on the highway..
The Turbo was positioned high up and in the back of the engine by the firewall, so when the turbo spooled up (and it did really quick), it sounded like a siren going off until you got used to it..
Incredible highway car, made for long trips..

Cool! There really great cars when there not beat to hell!
 
Wow! Great job! Seeing a perfectly polished Buick T-Type is rare. I usually see them in black with the option DISO and Hologram package.

Thanks Ray!! Your right about seeing them swirled out usually. Luckily this one wasn't too bad and had a pretty good respray done about 10yrs ago. I will say that the clear on this thing was pretty hard. Cool part is that its a cool brandie wine color and not black.
