I am excited to post our first write up in our brand new facility! From the light tunnel to the hugely increased amount of space, indoor wash bay to the dedicated clear bra booth; the new facility is an improvement in every way. What better car to start on than a bright red 1970 Chevrolet Chevelle? At the time the Chevelle was dubbed “America’s most popular mid-size car.” It wasn’t just a mid-sized car however. Just like the Mustang and Camaro, this 2nd generation Chevelle is really one of the quintessential muscle cars of its time. With its 454 LS5 V8, it was able to make it down the strip in the low to mid 13 second range. For a car of its size, this was a extraordinary feat.
This vehicle came to us from Cats Exotics as it was being sent off to its new owner and they wanted it to be perfect. As a result, this Chevelle recieved one of our most comprehensive exterior detailing packages, The Connoisseur Detail. What really sets this package appart from the others is the 3 stage polish. This is so that we can achieve the maximum amount of paint correction. Also since this vehicle is older, it had a single stage paint job. This means that unlike new cars where you are polishing a clear coat, on this vehicle we were actually polishing the paint! Needless to say, this requires special attention by skilled detailers. Check out these photos of the process below.
