Just got this today at at local dealer. It has a few blemishes here and there but was very well preserved, with no touch ups. Box is missing a flap. Nice late colors. Almost too BIG.

It appears to be new. What polish or process did you employ to achieve such results?

Well, I have a lot of experience in detail work on cars, but it's no secret what I do, and it's very simple. I was turned on to a very light polish years back by George Barris' car detailer. He was an OLD (as dirt) dude that really knew his stuff. The product is called "Deep Crystal" by McGuires. Always go light over any stamped areas or such. Test a spot first. However the real cool thing about Deep Crystal is that it's VERY gentle. Fine fine polish.. not a wax. Then after that I follow it up with McGuires High Tech Yellow Wax (No. 26 I think.) Of course clean anything before hand if there is dirt or dust. Good luck.
