'67 Chevelle Concours wagon, bring it back to life

[67since67]

I've had this MBX rubber wheel vinyl removal tool for many years, but it did not work well here. What remained of the original vinyl was mostly dried up adhesive and the bottom layer of the vinyl film.
After trying several removers, chemicals etc, I resorted to oven cleaner and a single edge razor blade on a handle. This actually worked pretty well but still a tedious task!
First application removed most of it, followed by another to remove leftovers. Then a wipe down with denatured alcohol.

The area behind the gas door is painted brown to prevent a body color outline breaking up the woodgrain.

With wagon all naked and embarrassed it's time to bring life back the the chalked out paint.

First a color sand with 1,000 grit, then 1,500, 2,500, 3,000, and finally 5,000.

Next Presta 2step, applied with a buffer, followed by Collinite 845 applied by hand,
The woodgrain areas were sanded with 220.

Now it's ready for woodgrain!!
