Mauricio uses the Evercoat rubbing compound and a little water with a 3M buffing pad to remove the residue from wet sanding and polish the clear coat smooth. The art of buffing is in doing so without leaving swirl marks, though the Dark Foam Glaze helps with that as well...

It's finished off with the Hand Glaze to give it that wet look. We'll go into maintenance and care of our new paint job at a later date.

With such a fine paint job, we couldn't leave those atrocious stock wheels on any longer. Melvin helped us locate a set of stock 16-inch 5-spokes that he painted dark grey (while leaving the lip the unpainted satin silver). These efforts really spiced up the otherwise plain wheels. Just painting the other stock wheels would have resulted in what Melvin refers to as putting lipstick on a pig. The color, though, perfectly matched the paint and we think it looks hot. Check back next time to find out how to make your F-body feel like new, and a resto wrap-up.
