Default PC, Mezerna and Black Fire got me my mojo back!!!!!

Well back in July my car was broad sided and had to have the drivers side quarter replaced along with ther rear bumper cover and filler panel, well most body shops don't have a clue on how to properly wet sand and buff a car.

When I got the car back the paint looked like it was 20 years old with swirls and spider webbing in the clearcoat. I took the car back 2 months ago to have them wet sand and buff it one more time.....well it didn't help.

So yesterday I spent 8 hours with the PC, Mezerna polishes and Black Fire glaze and gloss enhancer and all I can say is HOLY ****!!!!

My 98 Z with 98,000 miles now looks better than the day I drove it home form the dealer 6 1/2 years ago,the paint is now swirl free and has a deep rich gloss.

I'm very pleased with the results.

I'll take some pics next weekend and post them up!

Of all the stuff I've tried, the Menzerna/Blackfire combo is still my favorite. Can't wait to see some pics.

Is all of this stuff readily available at local places? There isn't **** over here in Germany, but in 2 months I'll be in Texas, so I really want to try something more accessible than Zaino. I do love Zaino, but I'm willing to try other alternatives.

Yeah I know but after spending 8 hours working on the car I had to spend some quality time with the wife and give her a good waxing too! That left me with no time to take pics.

You can go to www.properautocare.com and order from them, they are very reliable. Make sure you pick up a Porter Cable 7424 DA Polisher if you don't already have one.

I think Menzerna is actually made in Germany. While you're over there, see if you can pick some up.
