Default Yeah..... *PICS*

In the process of detailing my Camaro. I'm using a Porter Cable with Menzerna, and Meguiars for glaze and wax. I've only finished the front and driver side so far. This is the deepest shine I've ever seen before. I love the Porter Cable Looks 100x better in person! Here's some pics of the progress...

Damn! Looks good. Black paint looks awesome when it's not busy collecting every dust particle known to man.

I can't wait to do this to my car... I've got everything sitting right here. This reassures me that Menzerna was definately worth the coin! I've got Menzerna to clean up the paint and Zaino Z2 & Z5 w/ the ZFX additive to polish and seal. I also have Z6 for between coats and after the final coat. I'm just waiting for the perfect day that isn't looking at rain or colder weather. Then I will be taking a day off of work to do it lol
