Default Detailing days.

Over the weekend i detailed my sisters black 02 zo6 for her. First I washed rinced then with clean soap i clayed the car. And then used mothers
3 step system on it. There cleaner wax sealer/glaze and then there carnauba wax. It just about took me all day on saturday to do. At the end i used meguiars quick deatiler with a micro fiber towel and micro fiber bonnett on a orbital to get it like this.

My sis is real cool we hung out and got me a bunch of mags and made me some good food. She is also the art director of vette and mopar muscle magazine. Well here are some pics. Any questions just ask.
