1971 Cutlass Winter Protection Detail

Long Island Detailing

A long time client just picked up a new show queen, a 1971 Oldsmobile Cutlass. Winter is not too far away and he wanted to make sure his queen was clean and protected. So we booked a Winterization detail which included a full hand wash, decontamination+clay, and sealing all exterior surfaces. As soon as I got to the vehicle, I noticed it had been waxed before with something cheap that stained some trim and left hard white residue behind. My coatings will never leave residue or hard white staining. I first had to decontaminate to remove all of the leftover wax then got to work detailing. After claying, I coated all exterior surfaces including the glass, trim, and soft top with a long lasting sealant that will waterproof the car through the winter. Protecting it from snow, ice, and most importantly road salts. Long Island is notorious for harmful road salts and sand.

Here are some pictures showing the wax stuck in the cracks and crevices.

And the after. All surfaces were treated and protected.
