How To Restore A Barn Find Car: Classic 1976 Corvette Stingray - Chemical Guys Car Care
There are some of us who have cars like this 1976 Corvette Stingray just sitting in the garage that have been dirty for so long. Chemical Guys shows you how to clean classic vintage cars that have not been maintained. These antique cars are one of the most difficult cars to clean and maintain because their paint is so sensitive. Nick applies his detailing knowledge in restoring this Corvette back to glory. First, we take care of the tires and wheels by using Light Metal Polish on the rim trim to restore it's shine and rid of any light scratches on it. Next, we clean the tires using All Clean to completely rid of any filth and road grime that it has gotten from the road. After truly getting it clean, we applied VRP because it's a water-based dressing that's going to give it a nice crisp sheen while also being dry-to-the-touch to prevent any sling during a drive. To top off the cleaning, we used EcoSmart to clean the interior of the rims to make it nice and vibrant with a layer of wax to protect it from heavy brake dust that this Corvette Stingray is prone to. As we've mentioned earlier, the paint of this 1976 classic is very sensitive and we don't know how well the seals are and we don't want to cause any leakage. Using a quick detail spray like Hybrid V7 is perfect to get rid of all the dust that has settled on a vintage car like this one. Hybrid V7 is perfect to remove these light layers of dust, fingerprints, bug & bird residues, etc. while adding a nice layer of shine and protection from it's sealant technology abilities. Next time you're in the market for a vintage classic car and you're convinced it's a rare barnyard find, take a chance and go for it because you know it's one quick simple detail away from being a beauty again. •••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••• Light Metal Polish - http://ift.tt/2uhIRIq All Clean+ - http://ift.tt/2zl48Ss Stiffy Blue Brush - http://ift.tt/2hY6e5I Nifty Brush Interior Detailing Brush - http://ift.tt/2zl49Ww VRP Super Shine Dressing - http://ift.tt/2v8byVs EcoSmart - http://ift.tt/2veJVfb Workhorse Green Professional Grade Microfiber Towel - http://ift.tt/2fyXkve Hybrid V7 Quick Detail Spray - http://ift.tt/2zl4b0A •••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••• ● Website: www.ChemicalGuys.com ● Subscribe to our channel: https://www.youtube.com/subscription_center?add_user=chemicalguys ● Subscribe to our newsletter: http://ift.tt/2vjCz9T ● Like Us on Facebook: http://ift.tt/2ngICu5 ● Follow us on Instagram: http://ift.tt/2vjwfPB

Vincent van Gogh’s 'Laboureur dans un champ', 1889
In the year before his death, Van Gogh lived in the asylum of Saint-Paul-de-Mausole. 'Laboureur dans un champ' reflects an artist determined to heal himself through work. On most mornings between May 1889 and May 1890, the outside world visible to Vincent van Gogh appeared much like it does in Laboureur dans un champ: a low stone wall enclosing a wheat field, a few poplars, an old farm house, a ploughman tilling the soil. Van Gogh began this painting in the final days of August 1889, completing it on 2 September. It was a momentous development for Van Gogh, who had not handled his brushes for a month and a half. Dr. Théophile Peyron and the attendants at the asylum of Saint-Paul-de-Mausole in Saint-Rémy had locked the artist out of his studio, awaiting his return to good health and a stable, less frenzied state of mind.

The Simplicity of Ming-Dynasty Furniture
Constructed from precious woods by ingenious craftsmen 400 or more year ago, these pieces represent the apex of Chinese furniture production, says International Senior Specialist Marco Almeida. ‘The Ming dynasty is very much seen as the golden age of furniture production in China,’ says Marco Almeida, International Senior Specialist in Chinese Ceramics and Works of Art. ‘When you look at a piece of Ming furniture, the first thing that strikes you is its simplicity. Their designs are not divorced from function: Ming pieces were made with a purpose, and their clean lines celebrate the material used. ‘The artisans who produced these pieces used the wood in very clever ways,’ Almeida continues. They sometimes used the grain to ‘give an idea of design,’ the specialist explains, ‘but it’s all very natural. You do find playful details, mostly dragons, and a lot of inspiration from the natural world.’ Find out more: http://ift.tt/2z82JhU -- Subscribe to Christie's YouTube: http://goo.gl/Vmh7Hf Sign up to Christie's Weekly: https://goo.gl/kc8qpV Follow Christie's on: Facebook: http://ift.tt/2elC9Zg Twitter: https://twitter.com/ChristiesInc Instagram: http://ift.tt/2iJ3lGm Pinterest: http://ift.tt/2elCafM

Learn The Ins And Outs Of Waterless Detailing - Chemical Guys Car Care
In this Video, Chemical Guys demonstrates the proper method on how to use a waterless wash system when a pressure washer is not available. Chemical Guys also shows how to use a premium microfiber towel to remove dirt and debris. This video is a how to on what techniques work best when water is not available. A dirty car is not meant to be ignored, especially when you're dealing with the boss's car. Nick and Javier are tasked with removing dirt, debris, water spots, and environmental contaminants from the surface of this beautiful Tesla 85D. Nick and Javier choose EcoSmart which is the perfect water less wash system that combines super slick lubricants, and the incredible cleaning properties of carnauba wax. Nick begins detailing by spraying a fine mist onto the surface of this luxurious marvel of technology. Javier has many questions such as: How much wax does EcoSmart contain? How many cars can you clean with EcoSMart? and lastly how many towels will you need to clean a car this size, or larger? EcoSmart's formula encapsulates all the dirt on the surface of the Tesla, emulsifying it to prevent adding any scratches that might harm the sensitive finish. The last thing on Nick and Javier's mind is damaging the boss's car while he's away on business. To complete this exterior detail, Nick and Javier take advantage of the plush features of the Workhorse premium micorfiber towel to wipe away the bulk of the EcoSmart with one side, and buff away the haze with the other to create a brilliant award winning shine. EcoSmart is perfect for anyone who cannot wash outside when the temperature is too hot, because cleaning in direct sunlight can cause water spots to appear on your vehicle's paint. EcoSmart is diluted, and ready to use out of the bottle. EcoSmart is also available in a pure concentrated version that can be diluted with water. When looking for an easy and convenient way to remove dirt and dust that clouds the stunning finish of your car or truck, it's easy to see that EcoSmart is the clear choice to restore clarity to the paintwork.
