Default GTO Front End Detail

My 4th of July consisted of partying, hiking, cliff jumping, running away from close bear encounters, shooting squirrels w/ a BB sniper rifle, and on top of that, detailing my friend's GTO.....you know...being AMERICAN! And because I started this detail at 10pm, I only had enough time to spend around 7 hours on his goat's front end. It had many bird poop etchings, swirl marks, mineral deposits from rain, and other typical paint imperfections of a daily driver's car. I only had my cellphone on me to take pictures, but I will be sure to post up more after-shots when I have a chance.

The Goods:
- Dawn soap
- Megs Claybar and Detail Spray
- M105 / M205 Compounds
- LC orange/white/grey pads w/ buffer
- WaxDaddys Formula 113 Paint Sealant (8 hour cure)
- ShowroomFX Black Crystal Carnauba Wax (2 coats)

(Once again, I apologize for not taking enough photos during the process. My mind wasn't functioning so early in the morning)

Very nice work! I too, am a diehard 105/205 user, but I use a Makita. Can't beat that process!
