Detail: '05 Corvette - Black

I've had the pleasure of detailing this vehicle several times since new. Great car and great owner. It was time for a good clean-up.

Process:

-APC 1:4 on wheels/tires/wells
-Zaino Z7 wash with sheepskin mitt
-Zaino Z18 spot clay
-Zaino Z-AIO via polishing pad and PC speed 5
-Zaino Z5 Pro by hand
-Zaino Z8
-Zaino Z-AIO by hand on wheels
-Zaino Z16 on tires and trim
-Robbies Nu-Glo 1:1 in wells
-Stoner's Invisible Glass inside and out
-Mother's Mag and Aluminum on exhaust

Pics:

Questions, comments, advice are welcome.

Z-AIO performs very well, but it's a very different product than the Menzerna polishes. It's more similar to Klasse AIO, Werkstatt Prime, etc. It cleans, lightly polishes, and protects the paint.

APC = all-purpose cleaner

Robbies Nu-Glo is a water-based dressing
