Really enjoyed working on this car which has a cool "black pearl" paint finish with black and dark blue paint in a metallic finish. This car has some nice acceleration as well and a very well layed out interior.



Used the following process:

Zaino Z-7 soap

Z-18 claying

Z-7 soap

Z-PC on wool pad by Makita 9227 on hood

Z-PC on PC at "6" with LC VC cutting pad

Z-6

Z-5 Pro FX`ed X2

Zaino Z-8 spray

Poorboys Trim Restorer on some trim items

303 Aerospace on interior and some rubber seals

MetroVac on interior carpet

Eimann Fabrik Clear Vision on glass with Pak ww glass towel

Simple Green on wheels, Z-16 on tires



Sorry no before pics but we removed quite a nice bit of haze in the clearcoat.

Nice job. Looks deep. What pads did you use following the cutting pad?

Finishing Lake Country pad on the hood but the cutting pad was medium cut so I went straight to sealant on some of the panels.



I`m probably going to get some more wool pads. I`m finding that they work well with the 9227.

You do get small cars; they are just Italian stallions. ;)
