Default DETAIL: '99 Black WS6 w/custom flame paint

This fine example arrived here from out of state yesterday. I met the owner at this year's Dallas Autorama in February. It will be on display at the Houston Autorama Thanksgiving weekend. I will be trying to attend the show there on Friday. After inspection, aside from the fine lines and random scratches found, I started with Megs M105/LC 5.5" orange and yellow pads to start the clean up.


Once finished with the M105, I switched to the M205/gray pad to refine the surface even more. To complete today's treatment, an application of the TC carnauba creme and LC red foam applicator.













Questions/comments welcomed.

Thank you so much for your time and effort!!!
Sincerly,

I believe that car was in HPP magazine a few years back, at least in their 2005 calendar anyway. Pretty hot car.
