Default R32 detailed

This is Lori's car (its not an LSX vehicle, but I'll be doing her Z06 soon) and it was in great shape on the inside, but poor shape on the outside. I did Zaino Claybar, 1 pass with the Porter Cable with the orange Lake Country pad with Megs #80, then 1 more pass with yellow Megs pad and #80, hood and front/rear fenders got a 3rd pass of yellow megs pad and #80. After cleaning it all off I hit it with 2 coats of Z5 Pro and finished it off with Z6. This was a LONG job, but I think it turned out pretty good.


Oh yeah, and it was raining really hard while i was working on it.

Thanks again for the business Lori! Looking forward to doing your Z06 soon

Looks real nice. But isn't the yellow pad more abrasive than the orange?

Its a popular choice for this car, but its not factory.

The Lake Country Orange pad is more aggressive than the Meguiares Yellow pad.

You can, but it depends on which products you are using. If they leave behind any conditioners or such, you have to remove that so the Zaino can bond. A wash or a wipedown with a 50/50 mix of water and Iso Alcohol will accomplish this.
