Default 2006 GTO (2 Step Polish)

Paint Correction 2006 GTO
This is a daily driven GTO. I decided to go with a 2 step method on this one. Being that I like Poorboy’s Worlds SSR2 on the last 2 vehicles I used I decided to use it on this one once again.
Products Used:
Wash: Poorboy’s World Super Slick and Sud/Soaked with P21S TAW
Clay: Pinnacle
Clay Lube: DP Rinseless Wash and Gloss
Wheels: Poorboy’s World Spray N’ Rinse
Wheel Protection: DP Wheel Glaze
Tires: DP Tire Gel
Exhaust Tips: Optima Metal Polish via Steel Wool # 0000
Correction: Poorboy’s World SSR2 via Griot Garage Cyan and Tangerine Hydro Tech Pads (5.5’’)
LSP: Sully’s Detailing Liquid Wax

Before:














After:

Believe it or not, you have the option to NOT open a thread if you have no interest in it.

Unless you know the guy, I'd strongly suggest keeping an opinion like that to yourself.

You seem to make it a point to post this in every detailing thread as of recently. Like others have said, you can choose to not open them. I think they're good sources to see what detailing products work and see actual results. I could be mistaken, but this is an appearance and detailing section.

OP, those are some really great results. That thing had a lot more swirls than I thought it would have haha.

I love the detailing threads. I like to see what other people are using in products/pads and see the process they go through. If you have never detailed you really don't understand but it really helps us noobies out alot. Its not hard but its one of those things that you just need practice and get into a product/pad and process that works. Looks good and thanks for posting man!

^ What he said and maybe theres products out there that we as an individual havent used that would be better than what we are using. That is why I don't mind these detailings threads like this.

Thanks Guys,

When I first started I most have watched and read every thread on Meguiars Online and Auto Geek Online. I most of spoken to Mike Phillips on the phone like a hundred times.

I know that when I first started I looked up to all the people doing write ups like this thinking to my self I wish I could do that. Now I can. It took alot of learning I still learn new tips and ticks everyday.

All I can tell you guys is keep at it.
