One of our club members at the Strathmore Vintage Vehicle Club was asked to supply a 1930's pick up for some movie filming in Edinburgh this week. (Cloud Atlas) starring Halle Berry and Tom Hanks.
Now this Austin Pick up is kept in show condition for the year and was recentlty done be me just before it won a couple of 1st places at one of the rallies
Now Bruce was told it couldn't be shiney for the filming but not to worry as they would "Fake it" and make it look dirty.
It came back this morning looking like this.
It took approx an hour to "apply" the dirt to it. Now expecting it to be dirty I asked Bruce to make sure they did not wash it to make sure they did not inflict and scratches.
So it was out with the snow foam for a luxurious bath in foam to soften and shift what ever it was they stuck on it.
Now I am a big fan of Autosmarts products so once it was dried off, some of the light scatch marks left by the applying of the dirt were machined out
thankfully the protection that it has had this year made it an easy clean up so it was given a polish with their experimental hand made Platinum C polymer ploish and topped off with a fresh coat of WAX.
