I wasnt too happy with how it turned out after last week, so I decided to redo it. I just got done taping it off in my garage. Wish me luck

I used a swirl remover to remove all the swirls... Now I'm using Z2 show car polish to make it a little shinier.

Oh... The name is misleading. Polishes are abrasive, Z2 is not abrasive. Its a sealant, so you're sealing the car now. Not trying to be nit-picky, just its often misused and people get confused.

Post pics when you're done!

I sold my SS in December and didn't pick this up until a few weeks ago. I loved my SS also regretted selling it... Until I bought this. lol

I love driving it. It just feels totally different. Go out and drive one and you'll be hooked. I'm happy with my decision.

Everyone will have a different opinion
