I am a half-year 914 guy, the car spends a lot of time in winter storage here in Northern Michigan. I bought my 1974 1.8 in 2007, helped along by the generous advice of 914world members.
Now the Parade is only 40 miles from my house, I am thinking of entering the concours. Immediate questions involve the completely unoriginal radio, wheels that have been repainted, and front and rear sways that I had installed when Brad Mayeur did the original work on it. Otherwise it is a very clean car. I am wondering if I am ineligible for a "survivor" judging because of these mods? My original thread with pics: http://www.914world.com/bbs2/index.php?sho...c=69564&hl= Thanks for your help. Paul |

Pat, I've been to quite a few of John's workshops over the years. He's a big advocate of that combo. Apparently he's had great results using it. I tried it on two cars. The light ivory 914 and the Bahia red 914. To me, it was way too aggressive to use on good paint. Just a little too much pressure, and you'll be burning through it. Even with the smallest dab of the Blue Magic, for me, it worked like a compound. You have be very carefull using it, and make sure you have proper lighting so you can see what exactly what it's doing. Quite good on bringing oxidized paint back to life. He's demonstrated that at his workshops. In that case, you really don't have too much to loose.
The Mequires and PS21, is a much safer route to go. All the gloss that was brought back to life on the Ravenna 914's paint, was because of that combo. Seems to add a real luster to the paint. The carnuba wax was just the icing on the cake so to speak. That gave the paint it's depth. Regarding the clay, I'm a total fan of it. It really prepares the surface well. Certainly no harm in using it on a factory finish. Great detailing tool to get into all the nooks and crannies in the engine bay. Lifts up all the dirt you can't quite get with your q-tips. |
