taking care of finish

I just bought a 57 fiberfab speedster . What is best way to return finish to high polish??

Thanks


Jerry

I'll answer here, but it may get more replys in the General section. I'd consider wet sanding it with 1500, and then 2000 grit sand paper. Then take a high speed power buffer and buff it with 3M rubbing compound. Final touch, buff it with 3M microglaze. The 3M liquid rubbing compound, and micro glaze are both about $20-25 each. You will need to rent or buy (harbor freight) the power buffer. Get one that is good for about 2000 RPM. The wax buffers won't really cut it.

Thanks Jack, I was afraid of that, (more than just a wax)

Thanks, car is put away for winter now, looks like will be a spring project!

Hey Jerry what color is it? If it's an old jell cote finish and it's black ,your best bet would be Block sand A-LOT to get the ripples out of the fiberglass, prime and block sand some more , then paint and block sand some more then clear cote and then block sand some more then buff the H*%$ out of it. It's a long and exspensive process! But it will look Great! or you could sell it to me! and go buy a newer one with good paint! Would you be interested in selling ? let me know!

well, I just posted else where on this sight, My wife B-Day is in May. She has no idea i got it for her, so come June 1st, I might just sell. Not sure. I only got to drive it a few miles this fall.
