Re: Got Another One!! Nice Original (95%?) 72 Cheyenne Super!

Sweet, and great color.

2000 grit and Wizard buffing compound and it'll look brand new. I've used that combination on a bunch of old cars....and it will bring the paint just about right back to how it looked coming out of the factory, warts and all. And of course, wax after that. I used....don't know the name, but I know it comes in a bright orange bottle. Just looked it up, Nu Finish.

Not so sure on the CLR, though. I tried it on this truck on the hood, and was not pleased.

Trim, door handle removal is key, also, to the overall look, because if you don't remove it, you'll have the "faded paint halo" effect around all of it.

Good luck and post a pic when you're done. I NEVER get tired of seeing original trucks looking all spiffed up.

And along w/davischevy (I look at all CL ads w/in 500 miles of me to check prices) regarding his inquiry about relative prices in AR and CA, how much did you pay for that truck? And will caveat that w/a "if you don't mind me asking."
