1969 Cuda
Did a freebie birthday detail today .. I go to car shows with his mom & dad .. they have a 57 Merc Pickup.
Usually I don't do freebies but this kid is great .. just graded high school and is a real hard worker and loves his car.
It was painted a couple years ago but had some issues and his mom wanted to do it up for him .
Dads truck
We clayed the car then did the horizontal surfaces with Opt. Hyper Compound then the whole care with Opt. Polish / Compound 50/50 mix .
Followed it with Poliseal then #21.
Tires are dressed with Opt. Tire Gel .
Enjoy

not to be a dick to the OP, but you in fact do NOT have a 69 'cuda...you have a 69 Barracuda...haha, they didnt start calling that model car a " 'cuda " untill 1970...regardless, that barracuda/'cuda is looking fresh...good work

"they", meaning the plymouth people...http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plymouth_Barracuda
like i said, very nice car and great job detailing it
i know in the 2nd gen barracuda part of that wiki site it says that in 69 they had the S package dubbed "'cuda", but its known (or atleast i thought it was) that the 70's changes seperated the 'cuda from the barracuda....not even worth an argument, and i HONESTLY wasnt being a dick...keep up the good work bro

Ya .. still have 80% of the bottle left .. then I'll have to go to the 2.0 .. I just hope they haven't changed it as a step backwards .. I have had great luck with it and really good life out of it once I started using PoliSeal as a base for it.
I get 30+ vehicles out of a bottle.
