Default Another detail on the sisters black zo6

My sister keeps me busy detailing the black beast. She does wash it once a week but thats it. I brought all my stuff to her house and spent 6 hours on getting this mirror finish. This is what i used and how I went about it. Hope you like.
Also she is the corvette diva of vette magizine.

2002 black zo6


So Smoooooth


It was a hot day


that's a clean bumper


vette FTW


It was a sand box


First i washed her with a meguiars m/f sponge. Then rinse.
With clean soap used mothers clay bar. then rinse.
Dried with the absorber. A cotton towel for the doors,trunk,rims,engine.
Used mothers cleaner wax. Buffed off with a turtle wax orbital.
Polished with m/f bonnet
Applied Dupont teflon ultra car wax. Let it dry for about 20 minutes.
Buffed off with a cotton bonnet. Shined with a m/f bonnet.
use m/f towel w/meguiars quick detailer for a deeper shine.
For the engine i used a long detail brush and a damp towel and a can of compressed air to remove loose sand. Some tire shine on plastic trim and hoses.

So how did i do?

Looks good. Black paint is a pain in the *** but it looks like you did a nice job.

I dont see any swirls on the car either, all I see is a couple spider webs by the door handle but they are hardly noticeable.

The swirls visible on the door shot. They aren't too bad - I was just curious.
