[QUOTE="NastyGT500, post: 15996391, member: 75220"] [center][b]1973 VW Type 181 - Thing Mileage unknown Avocado Green 1500cc/46 HP[/b][/center] A client of mine has this cool VW Thing. He is planning on selling it soon and wanted it to look as good as it could prior to selling. The paint was very cloudy, hazy, and full of swirls. It has been repainted and it had plenty of material to work with…it would have been the perfect candidate for some wet sanding, but he did not want to go that far. The top was ridiculously faded/sun burnt and needed a little attention. He stated it needed to be replaced, but I wanted to see what I could do! I killed one of my Flex 3401’s on this and it will be getting sent back to Flex for repair! Process/tools/chemicals/etc: McKee’s37 914 rinseless wash. Clayed via Griot’s medium mitt. Clay lube DoDo born slippery. DeFelkso PTG. Scangrip lighting. Misc. MF towels. Flex 3401. Rupes iBrid. Misc. wool and foam pads. Beta test heavy cut compound. Beta test polish. Beta test spray wax for LSP. Beta test hybrid spray sealant for LSP. (I wanted to try both of these products on this vehicle so each one got a section of the vehicle. Spray wax on the front end and the rest received a dose of the spray sealant.) SCG Pro tire dressing. Adam’s glass cleaner. Metro vacuum. The top received a healthy application of Auto Finesse Revive trim restorer and came out great! Thanks for looking!
