Another fine Rolls Royce Automobile at this event was this 1964 Rolls Royce Silver Cloud.
While in the above pictures, it would appear as thought this car is immaculate in every dimension, and it is compared to 95% of the cars on the road, however, closer inspection of the finish reveals that a little tlc is needed to take it to it's maximum potential.
Here's a shot of the finish on the driver’s side front fender under direct sunlight,
Here's a close-up of this same area,
In the photos above, the finish has swirls. In this case the finish has two kinds of swirls,
* Cobweb-Effect These are the type of swirls that build up over time by normal, everyday wear and tear.
* Buffer Swirl These are they type of swirls that are usually instilled by the incorrect use of a rotary buffer, (bad technique), or a number of rotary buffer related problems such as wrong buffing pad, or wrong finishing polish, chosen for the final buff and in some cases all the above.

And here's a close-up of the trunk lid,
The owner of this car will be showing it at the ATSC's 22nd Annual Concours d'Elegance on Sunday, October 17, 2004. Before this event, the owner has generously offered to bring his Rolls Royce back to Meguiar’s for Showcar Makeover. The purpose of the makeover will be to remove the swirls and restore a show car finish to this rolling piece of artwork. Of course we will document the products and procedures we use and post the write-up for this in the
Extreme Makeovers forum.
