    Scott - This is Al from Montana. Thought you might like to here about the youngster (about 21) I ran into today. He was driving a pea green and white 1960 Biscayne four door. It was in much the samr shape as Myles Strato Streak including the 235 straight six 3 speed maual with O/D. The best part is he had his very blonde girlfriend sitting next to him on the bench. i chatted for several minutes and he said it was his grandfathers car that he inherited. So much for all youngsters being plugged into computer games.

    Your polishing out of the Strato Chief reminds me of my younger days when my brother and I were in the car collecting phases of our lives (much to our mother's dismay).
    Whenever we wanted to step up to another car we'd try and flip one of those cars we were tired of. My brother discovered a product called Liquid Ebony (I don't know if it even exists anymore(? ) and we'd Rubbing compound out the cars then hand rub this liquid all over and finally wax it with the most expensive carnuba wax we could find. Those polished up cars sold in a flash.
    I further recall trying to dump a 2 door 1961 Dodge Lancer (salmon colored) with a slant six and standard shift. We couldn't sell this car at all. There was something ugly about it no one wanted, even when waxed? So we gave it the Liquid Ebony treatment and in 24 hours a girl and her father showed up to buy it. The car looked as though it was covered in a metallic Salmon Chrome not paint.

    Dear Myles, Scott and Frankers (not to forget the camera girl).
    👍👌👏 Oh WOW, what a simply fantastic result! I always love to see the difference between before and after. Especially dull red coloured cars shine quite bright after buffing and waxing. Myles, your Strato Chief is a very beautiful, unique looking car. I especially like it because of the big 6 cylinder inline engine. 4.3 litres = a bit over 700 ccm per cylinder should give the car a nice torque. By the way: One day I hope to see a kind of old fashioned tuning for such a six cylinder engine on this channel. Different camshaft, carburetor, ignition (maybe even digital), exhaust manifold, exhaust, overhauled cylinder head, different valve springs etc.. Man can still dream, sigh. The mexican blanket style seat covers are perfect, at least for my personal kind of taste. I really hope that you will find a good home for this great car. After polishing it so shiny it might have become harder for you to sell the car!?
    As always at the end of my comments: Thanks a lot for making teaching explaining recording editing uploading and sharing.
    Best regards luck and especially health to all involved life forms (humans and dog).

    Stellar work on the Strato, returning it to its heights as the "pride of GM-Canada." There's also the truism here of how we always shape up our cars for the 'next owner'; while never getting around to the detail finish we would appreciate. Myles will have no trouble finding a buyer who'll relish this beauty. And the CWM sticker on the trunk lid will command ‘lotsa Loonies!’

    What a transformation! Years ago, my late brother dragged a red '70 Valiant out of a garage it had been stashed in for 20+ years. It was a good, solid, rust free, low mileage car but the paint was heavily chalked from rims to roof. He was skeptical that the finish could be saved, but I spent eight hours on it and it came out looking like that. It seemed like I took ten pounds of paint off it! His mind was blown and people wouldn't believe that the car hadn't been repainted. Very satisfying!

    Looks amazing! It's such a rich deep red buffed out. My 65 Impala was practically pink when I bought it, and with some buffing and polishing by hand it became a beautiful red. It would have been even better if I had the power equipment and proper cosmetics like you have. Somebody is going to snap that up as soon as it goes up for sale. Too bad today's paint / clearcoat burns away in under 10 years.
