Had to dust'er off and start cleaning up. So far I've spent about 12 hours just on the exterior paint alone and I'm only about halfway through.

So far the following steps have been done:


  • High speed polishing with 3M PerfectIt II to get out some swirl marks that have built up over the years. I went out and bought a Milwaukee variable rpm polisher that goes up to 1750rpm. Used a foam eggcrate pad and it worked out very nicely.
  • Spot cleaning with microfiber and ClearKote Quickshine (this stuff is so awesome)
  • Application of Klasse AIO as a base coat
  • Re-clean with Quickshine
  • Application of Klasse SuperGlaze...cured 24 hours
  • Quickshine
  • 2nd Application of Klasse SuperGlaze... polished off after car was done
  • Quickshine

    Results so far (in my garage)


    This will be followed by another coat of Klasse Superglaze and then 2 coats of S100.

    After that I start on the engine and then on the interior, followed by jacking the car up, removing all the wheels and exhaust and then going crazy on the underbody.

    Yikes, I forgot how much work this is ;-)



    Mr. K gets it!
