Default Clean Car, Nice Weather, New Shots

Initial picture post: https://ls1tech.com/forums/pontiac-gto-2004-2006/612028-bought-2006-srm-a4-weekend.html

I've had the GTO for just over a week and it's got a little over 1,000 miles on the clock now. It just got it's first full detail treatment this weekend...

Wash with Dawn
Clay Magic claybar
Wash with Zaino car wash
Zaino Z5 with ZFX, buff off after hazing
Zaino Z5 with ZFX again, buff off after hazing
Zaino Z2 with ZFX, buff off after hazing, topped off with Zaino detailing spray

Just wiped down the interior with a damp cloth and treated the leather with Zaino's leather conditioner. The engine bay was still relatively clean so I just wiped a few dirty spots down. The pictures dont really show it as it was getting dark and I didn't have a good location to shoot at so I just pulled over and snapped a few shots with what little light I had left but a good detail has this Spice Red paint looking pretty good. I'm planning a proper shoot with the clean car and a good location very soon. Most likely come the weekend.

The list goes something like this...

#1 - Keep it mechanically sound as possible for as long as possible

#2 - Keep it as clean as possible for as long as possible

#3 - Wheels, almost immediately, already got it narrowed down, will go on once the winter moves out

#4 - Small things like tint and other small appearance mods to clean the car up some

#5 - CAI, catback, and a tune

#6 - Roll it for 36,000 miles until that warranty is up and just enjoy it

#7 - Once the warranty is up I'm going forced induction with the goal being a reliable daily driver that can turn a high 11 second pass consistently and trap around 113-117mph, still get close to 20mpg if I keep my foot out of the gas, and drive like stock when I'm not hammering on it

Nice shots Josh
Next time you're out this way or I'm out that way I'd like you to shoot some pics of it too. Always nice to see someone else's perspective.
