Brought the Z out of its winter slumber last month and did a few "standard" details. Last weekend, I decided to break out the as-yet unused PC and polishes and go to town on the car! Didn`t have time for too many steps and extensive polishing wasn`t needed so I kept it simple. Engine bay and interior did not need to be detailed either.



Process:



ONR

Mother`s Clay (w/ ONR lube)

70%/30% RMG/FPII Combo via PC using blue Edge pad

S100 by hand.



Except for ONR and RMG, rest were all new products for me (incl. PC). I was delighted with Mothers clay`s ease of use. I had used Meg`s grey clay some years back and that had turned rock solid in my hand almost immediately after I touched it to the surface. The experience put me off clays until now. Mothers was a genuine pleasure to use; I am a believer!



Loved the RMG/FPII combo as well. Applied at speed 4. It did not dust at all and was very easy to buff off.



S100 went on like butter, much like NB does. I like the intense look it gave. I will be topping it with CMW tomorrow.



Pictures:



I did a formal photoshoot right after the detail was complete. These were taken anywhere from a few hours before sunset to an hour after sunset. No before pics as all the surface had on it was dust.

Nice ride, man. Wish mine was looking that good right now. Rain + 120mile Daily Driver = Discouraged Me.

Nice pictures.

[ManiZ]

Thanks all for the compliments! Much appreciated. I never would`ve known about half these products had it not been for these forums so I have you guys to thank for that. Until last year, I was mostly an OTC guy.

Thank you sir! The car was in storage for 5 months so I thought I might as well mod the lights. They were a pain to throw in the oven and take apart, but the LED install inside and the paint project went according to plan so no complaints here!

Car looks great, loving the Redline!

Looks very nice..... I can`t wait to do my 35th Anniversary this weekend. I haven`t even been able to clean my own car because I have been so busy cleaning others...(no complaints though)



I like the smoked/clear markers in the front....going to get some of those for mine when I can find the time.

Looks awesome man!

Thanks man! Good to see other Z owners on these forums. It`s great that the detail business is working well for you; I want to start my own as well now that I am better-equipped.



I smoked the CCs myself since none are available yet for the `06+ Zs. I had them apart for LED install so decided to smoke the reflector from underneath (to maintain gloss upfront).

Looks awesome man!



:thx



Appreciated!

Nice work!

[Shelpster66]

This is my car....which desperately needs to be detailed. I think that`s what I`m doing this weekend.
