its beautiful :afro:
what did you use?
2 things...
I'd jetwash/wash out the crevices... you can see tree detritus in the bonnet shuts etc
I would clean & dress the tyres as they appear very dull in comparison to all your hard work
-
I will take note of that, could not find the keys to get the bonnet open :D
Just washed 3 times, one with only water, then two with simonz wash and wax, dried, polished, then a quick T-Cut, then waxed twice with Simonz Rock hard Wax.
Whats the best thing to do the tyres as I see what you mean!

something like CG Trim Gel should do the trick

i wouldn't be using T-Cut on an old girl like that...
-
Had a few little scratches. Not bad for 52 years :D

looks nice mate, as guy said get them tyres dressed and it will add that finishing touch to your hard work, i agree with guy aswell on the T-cut,its a very crap product and theres better out there, as for jetwashing out the crevices i wouldnt personally due to the age of the car etc, could cause expensive damage.
-
Yeah, all has to be done by hand, and gently, which is a pain but makes you feel like your in the 50's.
Gunna try and clean up the wire wheels, any good products for this lol?
T-Cut works well on the chrome, gets rid of rust and adds a protective layer, dont think i would do it much or it will get rid of the paint all together!

i'd probably go with a metal polish like bilt hamber... has a wax element for protection
