My sister bought a 64 Corvair last summer and keeps it at her shore house to cruise with the family in. I rode down and brought my products and made a trip and picked up some 205 while I was down there because the paint was so bad.

She described it as a "10 foot car" meaning it looked great from 10 feet away.

After I did my process, including the 205- she says it's now a "2 foot car"

So, the shit works. I probably could've even gone as abrasive as 105 without much concern since there doesn't seem to meppbe hardly any clear coat left on there.

All in all- the Corvair was a 100% improvement (far from perfect, but definitely nice now) and she could confidently park it at a car show and it'll gather attention now

a 1964 you say? highly unlikely that it had a clear coat as it was not until the late 70's that it became widely available...that paint on that car was most likely enamel baked on finish, very shiny and durable

Thanh, there are a lot of DA's on the market now. Rupes is great, so is the Griot's Garage one.

I actually bought the Meguiars DA power system.

I just haven't bought a drill yet

Should look into getting one this week as the father day sales are on!
