Default Christmas Kit for Dad

My dad just finished restoring a 1959 Buick Electra 225 Convertible. It's pretty safe to assume he's going to want to keep it clean, so we're thinking about getting him a bunch of products. What does he need for the exterior, interior, and top? Pictures of interior and exterior below. The top is white. He needs everything including a DA. What do you recommend?





Thanks,

Find out what level of car show or concours he's going to show it in. At the highest levels, everything must look original: if the protectant on the top is too shiney, it costs points. The same with tires, interior, etc.

At most car shows, judging is a lot less rigorous: if the car looks good it wins.

But this difference could matter in your selection of products.

I agree. That is one beautiful restoration. Your dad should take great pride in doing that quality of work with his own hands. Kudos to your dad.
