Cruisers for Kids is an annual show that benefits local childerns charities here in Central Florida, which is a great cause. Over 200 + cars attended this year. This was my 3rd year going and it was an excellent show as usual. Plus, I won a 2nd Place award! It's a peoples choice, but it's my first award so, I'll take it! It's an open show sponsored by several clubs including a local Corvette Club and a Mustang club so there were alot of Fords and alot of Vettes. I had the only late model Camaro at the show and my Father-In-Law's Tbird was the only late model Tbird there. An interesting club that was there was the Yellow Mustang Registry. 60+ Yellow Mustangs were all parked together. You'll have to wade through some excessive pics of my car, my Bro-In-Law's RX8 and Father-In-Law's Tbird, (their first car show experience... by the way, I prepped and detailed the Tbird also). Hope you like 'em.

Brian,
Congratulations on the award! The car looks superb!

I love the look of the convertible. So long and smooth. Great design!

Tell us more about what products you used to create such a show stopper.

Best of luck at the next show!

Thanks! I'm a Zaino guy... primarily use Z5 as I don't see much difference in gloss between Z5 or Z2. Use 303 is for all of the vinyl, plastic and rubber, while Z9/Z10 is on the seats themselves. The TBird needed alot of work, being a used car, that was just recently purchased and was in need of a good detail to save it from what the dealer's prep shop had done to it. Started with the good 'ol dawn wash, followed up with a claybar, especially on the grille where hard water deposits had setup, followed with Megeuire's ScratchX all over to cut the ton of swirls it had. Z14 plastic polish took the nasty scratches out of the passenger tail light lens. WD40 to remove the old wax residue on the black rear license plate trim. Then topped the paint with 3 coats of Z5/ZFX finishing with wipe down of Z6. Z9/Z10 on the seats and 303 everywhere else inside. Made me tired all over again just re-living it!
