Detailed a hugger Z tonight-pics... This car has been on getting a COMPLETE detail over the course of a few days, the interior & underbody was done & the exterior was washed & clayed when I got there tonight. Engine bay detail & full photo shoot coming soon.
I didn't take any good close ups of "before", I can promise you, the paint came a long way in a short time though.
Steps taken tonight...
*Wash & dry
*Clay bar (Mother's kit)
*Porter Cable w/ orange LC pad, using 3M rubbing compound on speed 6
*Wipe down w/ quick detailer & microfiber
*Porter Cable w/ orange LC pad, using Tropi-Care TC-8 swirl remover, speed 5-6
*Porter Cable w/ blue LC pad, using ClearKote Vanilla Moose Wax-Hand Glaze, speed 3, removed w/ microfiber bonnet over the blue pad.
*Final wipe down w/ detailer spray. (Going to put a coat of wax on, after the next wash)
*Painted the front bumper support satin black
*Polished up the headlights w/ various products.
I need to work on my before & after shots...We were short on time & light, so not the best pics. These pics don't do the "transformation" justice!
After Clay bay...
Bumper support
Under
Hood
Blurry engine shot w/ painted bumper support
Finished...
Thoughts, comments, & suggestions welcome.

Looking great...you really got the swirlies out which I assume the car had. Too bad we coudn't see how the headlights turned out, but you did promise a full photoshoot, right?

The stuff last night was about 3 hours of working time. The paint looked wet when it was done.
