The Last Stretch!

Final steps to completetion on this 1980 Ford Shay Model A Pickup Truck.

Running boards recieved some much needed TLC, using Solution Finish which is a carbon based black plastic restorer on these 46yr old pads. After several applications, the product set in and gave the results I was looking for.

Vinyl convertible was thoroughly cleaned, scrubbed and treated with Nanoskin Blue Dress to restore, hydrate and protect the top from the elements. Interior also recieved some TLC, vinyl seating, door panels, dash was cleaned and conditioned along with the carpets, mats, steering wheel and column. Final touches on the glass inside and out for clarity. Some final hardware also installed and this project is completed!

Final paint enhancement step completed to further elevate the gloss, depth, and clarity of this original 1980 Ford Shay Model A Pickup.

After color sanding, the finish received three stages of machine polishing using a rotary, 21mm,15mm and 12mm Rupes dual-action polishers — and the results speak for themselves. A far more cost-effective alternative to a complete respray, while still preserving the original factory finish this rare vehicle left production with.

Have to give credit to the crew after this one — all lined up on the table for a well-earned rest after a demanding job. No single polisher or pad combination could have achieved this level of refinement alone at Innovative Detailing
