Hey Guys -

I thought I'd never get done. . . But I knew it was time to quit when my forearms were cramping up from waxing and wiping and buffing. Anyway, here's the end result!!! Enjoy, and feel free to ask any questions!

P.S. ~ Thanks for your help Dan (Guitarman)











These last 2 are dark, but I love em cuz it looks so shiny!



If you look close in this one, you can see the stains on the ceiling of my garage in the reflection of my hood.

Bravisimo! That pic of the bumper and hood is awesome, so deep. Having been through the process, you'll have it much easier next time ( you shouldn't have to do it again for some time though).

Did you use a rotary anywhere in the polishing process?

Hey Dan

Yeah, to be honest, I'm not looking forward to doing it for a good 6-10 months. I'm still sore LOL. I didn't use a rotary for any of the polshing. But I used the rotary for the entire swirl mark removal. I was really gettin the hang of it by the end. Can a rotary be used with Zaino?

Thanks T.L.W.!

Here's a list of the products I used after all was said and done:

1) Dawn dishwashing soap
2) Meguiars Mild Clay Bar
3) P21S Car Wash Soap/Conditioner
4) 3M Perfect It Swirl Mark Remover for Dark Finishes
5) 3M Polishing Pad
6) Zaino Z3
7) Zaino Z5
8) Meguiars Quick Detailer Spray
9) PakShak Microfibre towels
10) Professional Variable-Speed Rotary Buffer

I think that's it. . .

Is that the Bodywork Conditioner shampoo in a green liquid bottle? I have the same product as well, and it works awesome in that it's a neutral pH wash and cleans effectively while not removing old wax. Kinda underrated since it doesn't show up in local auto retail store or shops but it defintely deserves recognition.

Same with your SC. Nice job with the wash and detail process

Yes, that's the stuff! And I couldn't agree with you more. . .P21S is like lotion for paint. A lil' pricey though. But when it comes to my car, I never have problems handing over money. . .
