Hawk + Zaino I've never really posted pictures of my car, so I thought today would be good. Detail consisted of wash, clay, wash, Z-5 then Z-2. I only did one coat of each as I was running out of time. I've been previously using NXT 2.0, so I'll see how the Zaino holds up.
Here's some pics when I bought the car.
(Yes it had mudflaps
)
New pics, not the greatest as sun was setting & a lot of pollen & crap due to two trees nearby:

lookin good. glad you got rid of those stripes and the tacky LT1 stickers. i'd consider polishing the center panel between your tail lights and maybe removing the formula sticker from the bumper and the firehawk sticker from the headlight... just my opinion, but it'd make for a much cleaner look. sexy bird regardless.
Te car looks great...but you really should line up your fender to your door. Its very simple (directions can be found on here) and will really make it look a lot better.....best part is its free.

Thanks everyone. I've been pondering getting rid of the Formula stickers for a while now. The tail panel is polished, but the bird and text are vinyl and are starting to peel at the edges so I'll probably rip 'em off sometime. I'm probably going to remove the 355 HP decals on the hood as well as they are not original. I don't know why someone would take off the original 300 one and stick the 355 on when the car is basically stock. The fenders aren't off as bad as it looks, its just the angle and shadows in the pictures.

The right side one is starting to discolor a little so I was going to take them off as well.
Does anyone know how to get the stuff off of the back of the car where it says PONTIAC? It looks as if someone actually spray painted the fill-in as there is a run under the "N". I've tried clay and rubbing alcohol but weren't really effective. It is starting to dissolve with every wash, but I was looking for a quicker solution as I wanted some stainless inserts there to match with the wheels.

Car looks great! My Z and a few others that I know of have the same problem with the driver's side fender. I'm pretty sure it's from people not knowing where to place the jack or lift and it pushes it out...
