I worked on this car a little more than a year ago to prepare it for concours and then a show circuit. At the time, it had been through a restoration and while the shop did an amazing job on the car and really knows their stuff, the man behind the polish left something to be desired. There was a ton of compound residue and swirls left over. With plenty of clearcoat to work with, the paint was brought back to a concours level finish. Fast forward a year and after making the rounds at shows, plenty of wipedowns and coming back to the shop to be modified for a more driveable setup, the paint was in need of a refresh.
