Beautiful car. Needs to be on the roads again. I agree with other commenters that this paint color is a keeper.
So many models of the 70's were great, in pretty much every country & brand... Hard to pick an absolute favorite.
One day, you should have Ernest visit the WD shop in Cleveland. If he gets the opportunity to have the Chevelle restored, it would be great if he drives it out to make a cameo appearance.
Ernest seems like the nicest guy I've seen on youtube in years!
Well I just found my new favorite color of Chevelles, that color is amazing
Agreed 🤩
I was thinking Bullitt. Awesome movie need to watch again.
For any future adhesion problems like this, id recommend goo gone and a plastic scraper thats safe for cars
I was thinking the same thing.
@@dlenderman11 Granted there are probably better adhesive products but that was always my go to and it never messed up paint even after forgetting I applied it 8 hours ago.
Only thing that works I used goo gone and a microfiber towels takes some elbow grease and time.
@@argfirearms871 At first a microfiber towe was the way to go for me till I discovered plastic scrapers. A buddy of mine had one in his truck and I asked if i could borrow it to try it. Gave him $3 for it lol
@@imashd2629 the scrapers don’t scratch the car? (Not that it’s a problem if you are going to literally polish it later)
You should have over a 1 million subscribers your vids are that great.
Thank you so much!
@@WDDetailing Im retired so this is how i spend my Friday mornings.
We are happy to be apart of your routine !
@@WDDetailing as far as what I would do with a customer if I didn’t have the right tools. I ALWAYS bring ALL my tools to the customer so it can’t happen
For me, North American. Full sized. My dream is a 71 Mercury Marquis Brougham with all the options. Beautiful, comfortable, and roomy.
American 💯💯💯 and the ‘70 Chevelle SS us my dream car!!
I would like to see a follow up on this car when it’s completed
Awesome transition guys! That Chevelle looks ten times better!
@11:18 - I would suggest using WD-40. You can let it sit on the surface for a few minutes, then literally go back and rub it off with your fingers or a bristle brush, then go back and wash it to remove the residue from the WD-40.
My favorite car of all time 70 Chevelle SS!! In search for the right project as I’m typing this
I got my license in 81, so my first few cars wereGM68-Impala4-dr,307-72 Cutlus supreme-350 rocket-81Buick Regal Limited-350,-then beginning in College I went into The ultimate Driving Machine several models,,so now 35 yrs later, I have a 74C-20454,67 Buick Rivera-430 wildcat, in storage but what’s in my drive way -2000 750IL-V-12, then my daily driver Accent, so I’m not a good person to answer your question sir.👍Great job as always!!
Super job well done.
Hey terrific job cleaning good old American muscles
American from this era, well built cars and nice looking
With minimal tools you guys did an excellent job you will be millionaires soon keep it going.
Ernest great cat!!
Wow that paint looks great
A very kind man
Wow! Just freaking wow! You guys are like magicians! That Chevelle looks incredible regardless of how many obstacles were in your way.
I had the same problem with tape residue on a '69 GTO that was in storage and discovered Goo Gone, some elbow grease, and a lot of patience can work wonders.
I know this job wasn't easy. If it was, everyone would be doing it. But you guys knocked it out of the park.
One bit of advice for your next job: Expect the unexpected. Always go in thinking it's the worst job you can imagine and that you'll need every possible tool.
Beautiful paint
ss chevell awesome ! Cute lovely episode great time for me to watche this video i hope to see more thang you sir nest time
Tar and glue remover would have probably helped remove the tape
Valet pro is good✌️just removed old dealer stickers on my gfs rear window with it
Wow I'm surprised you guys didn't do a follow-up on him finishing this car you probably get a lot more subscribers
Dudes go back and get the inside, This cars deserves you guys, God Bless , & Happy Holidays. Ernest where you at man. Love that CAR. 2 new subs
I see a first generation Monte Carlo in the background! These clean ups are such good incentives to clean up my first generation Monte Carlo!
She cleaned really nice know its time for the owner to finish getting the car running 😊❤
Beautiful car
Amazing car!
What a nice guy love the chevelle.
Awesome, cleaning & detailing,👌👌👌👌👌👍👍👍👍👍👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Chevrolet should bring the Chevelle back, it could be a cheaper alternative to the Camaro.
If they build it by hand
Chevy, ford and dodge are canceling their muscle car lines starting 2024 so that prob wont happen unless its an EV.
@@AdrenalineTheory that’s what I heard too
@@AdrenalineTheory That is interesting to hear, I thought those cars all sold really well. Ford can't kill off the Mustang though. That has been a staple in the Ford lineup since 1964. That friggin electric crossover doesn't count.
@@jundialhaqiqa9907 If some of the known models do stick around, they wont ever be the same. Selling well isnt always what makes the decision. Chevy is canning the camaro, dodge is canning the charger/challenger and ford will kill the mustang. Its just how things are. Everything will go EV.
Wow that looks great! Never seen that color before, love it.
This was released perfectly alongside the new Grand Tour special, especially considering Richard Hammond uses a Camaro SS!
ABSOLUTELY
AMAZING. You guys are miracle workers
Great video!
On the clear coat, the only thing I know would be wet sanding with 1000, 1500, then 2000. This will make the clear very thin, be careful. Then buff, which I saw you do in the vid. It is a balancing act and some compromise no matter what.
Great job!
Unless someone had put a clear coat on this car, there is no clear coat
I love FORD cars! I think it is one of the greatest car manufactures.
It’s a Chevrolet Chevelle
Noob. lol
Nothing more beautiful then American muscle..
Hallo, I'm your new customer, I'm from Indonesia,
useful video
As a young girl in the 70s I had one of these beauties as my first car . At the time didn’t know what I had unfortunately I regret letting it go to this day
Part ll, at your shop when the car is back together???
Waiting for M.A.D. Detailing to comment. Subscribed to both channels and love the content!
You have a new sub just for being professional thanks guys
Always good when the clean car motivates the project seems like a dope guy
Nice job!!!!
Muito BOM! Parabéns do Brasil🙌🏼
My dad owns a 1970 Chevy Bel Air , beautiful car, unfortunately it was in a crash and the whole front bent but a few months ago we chose to restore it and bring it back to life, keep up the good work I love your videos and work.
Satisfying. Love your work! Maybe one day you can do my chevelle.
Brass bristle brushes work great on raised white lettering / white wall tires. Makes the tires pop with brightness.
Would love to see a follow up on this car...looks fantastic.
Question of the day. I recently bought a 71 Chevelle from a cousin of mine. Its a complete rust bucket right now. I currently have it at a custom body shop being restromod. I plan on driving it cross country with the Ms. If I were to get something foreign I think It would be a 240Z
You guys did an absolutely fantastic job bringing that car back! Dried tape that has etched paint is the pits to deal with. The owner has a beautiful car he should be proud of. I’m sure he’s going to love having that beauty back on the road when finished.
Wet sand and polish would have worked perfectly for those tape lines
One of my detailers doing one of my favorite cars? Dream come true.
Rapid remover is amazing! Give it a try!
Fresh paint for sure
What a great car owner!!!
Goo Gone adhesive remover is incredible. It is safe for the clear coat and has a pleasant citrus scent
excellent work
Keep up the good work guys, big love from Indonesia 🙏
Nice car good job
Hi from Australia I've got a81 f100 for 20yrs an 76 f250 xlt for 33yrs both restored an I own them for lots of reasons an no I'd never have a European or Asian made car having worked in automotive industry made me see how much I love the old cars an I also love old cars from the late 50s an up to the late 70s early 80s before they changed everything an if I could I'd collect Buick Pontiac Chevrolet Oldsmobile an Chrysler dodge also
I used to use steel wool for chrome and brushed aluminum cleaning. I had a '96 Ford F150 Eddie Bauer edition and had lots of chrome and the aluminum tail gate insert. Steel wool did amazing work of getting it all clean and making it pop.
As some others have posted... Goo Gone (or another of the citrus-oil based cleaners) works wonders on adhesives while being gentle on paint. A plastic scraper or plastic dish scrubber works well on this type of adhesive deposit also. A small bottle of Goo Gone and a plastic scraper would not take up much room in your kit bag. Big shout-out to Ernest... he sure has some patience to keep after Cholo all these years until he finally got the Chevelle, and then he did the right thing and called WD Detailing to do the clean up/restoring of paint which allowed us to see the process!
Excellent work still wd 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
For me, North American. Full sized. My dream is a 71 Mercury Marquis Brougham with all the options. Beautiful, comfortable, and roomy.
Nothing would have removed thst tape without damage to the paint. The paint was already damaged, and tfying to smooth it fully would have gone right through the clear.
I love that color it's done I'm painting mine the exact same way
I wish you was close to me in Tennessee you do such wonderful job. That car looks mostly brand new. Like your videos.
I would say awesome job. Despite all the barriers, it looks 100% better.
I’d want this car. I had a 71 Malibu 350 that I learned to drive on and loved that car. I tried to get my dad to buy the SS 396 with a 4 on the floor in the original green with the racing stripe but the insurance for a 15.5 year old was too much - over $400 per year vs about $100 on the Malibu with an automatic. I remember the sticker on the SS 396 was $3,800 and on the Malibu was $3,500.
Big fan of Chevelles, now I am subbed to your channel. Beautiful job, wasnt expecting that.
I think that a rubber eraser wheel, attached to a drill, would easily take the tape off. I have used it to remove a 16 year old car dealer sticker that had completely faded. A little goo gone in between also helped.
Muy buen trabajo que hermoso auto saludos desde Argentina Temperley
For me, American = foreign but then again, so are the cars that i currently own and fill our channel with.
Great job guys and what an amazing transformation.
Who ever painted that car most likely early 80's must used some quality Paint to hold up to all that moisture when paper was laying on it. There was Some PPG paint that came out that was single stage that acted like 2 stage with option put clear on it.. that stuff was awesome. That Painter saved that car. but WD brought back to Life... now can we get a real car cover bring back to the streets....
Classic 👌🏽🔥
I stay commited to watching ya'll detailing vids 👌🏽❤💯🗣
What a beautiful car and great job! Too bad about the tape, but at least you can really see the potential of this car… It’s going to be amazing when it is up and running! I love older cars and I have owned and daily driven both 1970’s Mercedes and late 60’s Mopar and I would say Euro or American vintage rides are going to give you lots of smiles per mile… Older cars usually have communities of fandom which surround them and that adds to the experience (and parts availability network). American cars generally are probably easier to find parts for locally, but it really depends on the make and model. Great video!
WD-40 is surprisingly great at removing glue residue from paint surfaces.
Just leave for a few minutes then wipe off with a microfibre towel. Then just wash as normal to remove the WD-40 residue.
I’ve been there before in detailing it happens....Too bad you guys didn’t have Solvent or paint thinner but it still looks amazing you guys do excellent work much love and respect from Jersey
Sweet car.....3m tape rem9ver disc on a drill will take that tape off
That’s exactly what we needed but didn’t have, or had time to go get.
We traveled 6 hours for this detail and only had one day to film. It was extremely frustrating!
Great job!!!!
Hey Does Ernest have you tube , So we can see the car again. Good Job WD. Georgia mad mike. New Sub
Great work guys , a stealer 10
These videos are so relaxing. You have a fan down here in St.Louis
So from the beginning of this video I thought it would not even be able to be cleaned but then just by presherwashing it cleaned it and made it 10x better. And I my self would prefer this car then a brand new lambo cause almost every old school cars like this run a hole lot faster and look a hole lot better than new cars, even tho I don't like Chevy's I would would take this over a lambo but my dream cars is an old dodge charger srt v-8 hellcat color chary red with drag racing tires that are black that is my dream car and has been since I was born. And umy friend are very talented 👏.
Some adhesive remover or soapy water with a plastic razor blade works great
Amazing transfer
This is a car I definitely want XD! it's similar to the 1st car I ever used playing Forza Horizon 2 on xbox 360...
Nice
I love the Chevelles and the Impalas from this era. Love the colour and striping on this one. What a horrible thing to do to it taping on newspaper. What were they thinking. Anyway given what you had there you did a remarkable job cleaning it up.
I think the new owner should start a channel documenting the restoration
RJ-Brent: Nail Polish remover will break up the adhesive very easily and is carried at grocery stores everywhere. Won't ruin the painted finish either. CITROL is also a good adhesive remover, available at WalMart. You should really look into just doing regular details like you did at the beginning of gig on UA-cam. Getting the most abused cars are getting rather old and puts you in a different class of UA-cam detailers. Congratulations on reaching 200K subscribers!!! Great results on the SS.
Nice job bro 🙌🏻
That car needs to be put back on the road and enjoyed by the owner. Beautiful job on the detailing.
Just found your channel and love it
Nice job and AWESOME CAR!!!! Use wd-40 to remove the tape.
Two cars I would like to have back from my youth. A 1965 Ford Thunderbird Landau and a 1968 Pontiac Grand Prix.
American built, I want a car from my own country, and hard to beat American muscle
