1934 Chevy Pickup Streetrod - Wet Sanding Training Car - Removing Orange Peel - Mike Phillips
How to Remove Orange Peel
For the second day of this upcoming 2-day class, there will be 2 sanding training cars here for the class to train on.
1: 1934 Chevy Pickup Streetrod
2: 1969 Dodge Dart GTS Convertible (a Unicorn in the MOPAR world).
You will learn,
1: How to hand wet sand using the Japanese Nikken Finishing Papers.
2: How to machine dry sand using Eagle Abrasives Buflex sanding discs.
3: How to use a rotary polisher with a wool pad and Dr. Beasley's NSP CoreCut+ and CoreCut.
4: How to machine polish using orbital polishers to perfect the paint and create a true, swirls-free showcar finish.
5: How to install a Dr. Beasley's Ceramic Coating.
Here's a sample of some of the sanding and buffing tools you'll train with in this class.
1934 Chevy Pickup Streetrod
Here's one of the training cars, this is a very rare, all-steel bodied 1934 Chevy Pickup Streetrod with HORRIBLE Orange Peel.
Orange Peel
The texture you see where the lights are reflecting on the paint, is called Orange Peel. Sanding flattens this out and then you buff out your sanding marks to restore a super high gloss finish.
Buick Nailhead V8
Interestingly, this Chevy has the iconic Buick Nailhead engine sporting dual carbs.
The tale-tale visual indicator of the Buick Nailhead is how the block is formed where the heads bolt on horizontally, instead of at a angle like most classic V8 engines.
Buick Nailhead Engine
Gearheads nicknamed the new V-8s Nailheads. Because the intake and exhaust valves were relatively small in size and installed vertically. The engine's odd valve orientation and pent-roof combustion chamber design gave the engine its distinctive upright rocker covers, which made the nailhead significantly narrower than other V-8 designs.
Electric Car Technology
There wasn't enough room to mount a conventional Air Conditioning Compressor, so the used an ELECTRIC compressor and mounted it under the bed in-between the frame rails.
She looks good, but she's going to look so much better after the class works their magic!
This class is almost sold out and it WILL sell out - so if you were planning on taking this LAST 2-day class for 2025, where the second day includes learning to wet sand and machine sand to remove orange peel on some other dude's streetrod - you better get signed-up fast.
I expect the SOLD OUT notice to go up next week sometime.

This will be another class that raises the bar for all detailing classes.
