1937 Rolls Royce Phantom II - 08-20-2008, 04:29 PM

This car is owned by a firend of a friend, he asked if i would detail it.... I kumped on the oppertunity.

This car was painted in 1977 (the the paint was old) in a resto back then. The paint is chipping and cracking but all and all not in to bad of share, it has some rough spots but as far as im concered it just gives it chacacter... makes me want to know the story behind it.

We arrived yesterday and washed the car with zymol clear, clayed with riccardo. This let us see how bad the paint was, it was in relivily good shape all things considered.
We follwed with a single pass of 3.02. This cleared it up to what the owner wanted. (95% of the swirls gone).
We then polished up the bright work with a few diffrent polishes dressed the tired with SV Phnue.

We then called it a night, we then came back the next day to wipe it down, hd-cleanse it, and then waxed with vintage. \

While the vintage cured we started work on another...those pics will come later lol

Anywho, this car was ablast to work on. I think it was the most fun i have had on a detail ever..ohh and it was so cool moving it. Driving this thing was the highlight of my week.

And some of the pics are during some are after, sorry i mixed up the order. and no before pics, sorry. I forgot the camera in the morning so didnt have it till after lunch when the polishing started

Nice work, looks great...It's the car from Indiana Jones and The Last Crusade...although this one is green.


I like beer. On occasion I will even drink a beer to celebrate a major event such as the fall of communism or the fact that our refrigerator is still working.

the ground was dirt, so mud, and the runnning boards were clean so it worked. It did not damage and i didnt have to walk 10 feet everytime i needed something

thanks, and i used to be like you on the newer, faster cars, but i spent some time around cars like this and fell in love. To be honest iwould rather have a classic rolls over a new one (and i really want a new one)
