Pontiac GTO Gets Paint Refurbished (Amazing before & After!) EP2

We're fast at work with the Vehicles for Veterans GTO. There's plenty of mechanical to accomplish, but Kevin Tetz and the Griots Team were in town - so we switched gears to the paint. You won't believe how well this comes back around!

I would WAY rather have a car like this with all its imperfections than a polished show-piece that you're afraid to drive. Awesome car.

[@nobodyspecial6436]

Agree 100%…. What’s the point in having an awesome car if you can’t drive it everyday…. Trailer Queens are a waste of money if you ask me

[@brandenbartlett2688]

How about a polished show piece you're not afraid to drive? Idk why people pay for and have nice things that they save for someone else to enjoy. These machines were made to be used and enjoyed.

[@retrogaming8647]

@@brandenbartlett2688 Different strokes, I guess. Some people want to buy one only for the reason to say "hey, look what I've got". Others want to buy one cause they think it looks cool and they like to drive it. Whatever floats your boat, but put me in the column with the people who like to look at it (maybe even work on it) and drive it.

[@jotighe2]

Every, every car starts its life as a polished show-piece that you're afraid to drive. Its through necessity, opportunity, and invention that they evolve into the gems with all its imperfections. Every car, no matter how unloved, earns its way to gem-hood simply by surviving the test of time. Love this car! Owner will be very happy.

[@jotighe2]

@@brandenbartlett2688 Couldn't agree more. I picked up a 20+ yr old 986 that drives like a wet dream. Second owner put 3,800 miles on it in 16 years. It's like they bought it and saved it for me (and I am sure I paid 1/10 the price). Its my daily driver I drive hard every day, and it still turns heads and stops traffic.🚘

Derek, I have been wrenching my whole life from a mechanic in the army to small engine repair to white goods and even factory maintenance. I'm now 70 and retired and can't get around very well but I can still learn and that is why I watch your Vlog. You are far from crazy. Entertainer yes but you know your stuff. I really enjoy watching you impart knowledge in a humorous form. Thank you.

[@CherylCold]

Bang on the money. For years Derek was teaching us how even an idiot can fix a car, pretending to be an idiot but we always knew he wasn't. What a great entertainer. See he's taking more of a back seat nowadays which is what happens when you become successful after working from the roots up, widens the audience and ups the game, still incredible to watch for free! Every now and then he goes back to trying to get a wreck partially roadworthy driving for miles in through rain with oil spraying on the windshield, temperature gauge going crazy, no brakes and you never know if he will make it or not, which for me is the best.

He did this the whole episode, an hour. It was nuclear, man. Like splitting the atom. This guy just spent an hour explaining one spark plug to me. What depth. I thought to myself, "I know nothing. It's all just surface. Superficial"... And then I watched him fix a dangerously low gauge reading on the ride home by covering the gauge with duct tape. I don't even know which gauge it was.

I've been using Griots stuff on my daily driver for years. Its the best product line I've found after years of trying just about all of them. The leather conditioner is hands down the best stuff you can buy. Just remember to wear gloves when you use it. It's is designed to penetrate hide, so while it wont harm you, the scent will be steaming out of your hands for days. Although thats a small price to pay for making your car smell like its brand new again.

Griot's is the Koch Chemie of America. If you remember those early DVDs Rich Griot would do himself, (its not really THAT long ago), he had this one trick he called the concours prep finish, when he puts down 3 separate layers of carnuba between long set-ups, without buffing them off (well, you buff out the top layer). It doesn't last very long, but it is almost flourescent.

I've been to a couple car meets at their Tacoma location. For being a detail shop that place is super clean and everyone was really friendly. They also had a mini museum inside that is super cool.

I love that that it isn't super siny. That dark cherry looks beautiful in the sun

[@davidmahoy4478]

Glad to see you’re not afraid to ask for help and learn more tricks yourself. My being a GTO fan made it all the more interesting for me. Keep up the good work Derek, you are making it more interesting as you go.

That GTO really came back great! Of course it should have considering the episode was basically a 25 minute ad for car care products. If I wanted to see that I'd watch one of those car shows on cable.
