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 |

Not to dispute John, but that Blue magic and PS21 is going to remove paint. You'll end up with a red pad or buffing cloth by the time your done. That would be ok for trying to bring back heavily oxidized paint. Blue magic is an abrasive metal polish. If your going to use that, make you test it out before trying it on an outside panel. Just a friendly warning.

Just a friendly warning. Sort of surprised that Paterak would suggest such a thing. How can that be less abrasive than a clay bar, which is easily controlled with fluids? I'm going to clay my 72 for the first time this spring. Used the bars on 3 car now with very acceptable results. Used the bars on alloy whells with gorgeous results, followed bt Zymol. |

I've used Paterak's combination for years. Yes it can remove minute surface paint if you grind it in. I've also used clay bars. Only concern I have with the clay is the retention of the particles it removes. They remain on the clay bar as you rub the clay over the paint surface. Liberal amounts of wet agent is a definite must. Amount of Blue Magic is about the size of small pea to a couple of caps of the PS21 cleaning cream. It works great for the super fine scratches. |
