1 Clean WS6

Hello all!!
What a beautiful Cobra this is (triple black)!! The car is a one female owner with 23K :eek: original miles on it. She`s bone stock and serves duty as a weekend vehicle. The car was in relatively good shape with just a couple parking lot dings and some light scratches. The interior was in great shape and was just dusty...looked like the top had been down during a few pollen seasons and had never been cleaned. The owner readily admitted it had NEVER been waxed but that her husband washes it a least once a month. He does a pretty good job as the swirls were very light. The thing that killed me with this car was road tar...particularly on the drivers side for some reason. Had the car had some wax on it I`m sure that the spots would have come off during the wash...but it hadn`t and they didn`t. :( Below is a description of the detail. Have I mentioned that I LOVE working on sports cars...sure beats Suburban`s and makes "owning" it during the detail that much easier!!! :D
Enjoy,
Mike
Wash with Meg`s Gold Class shampoo
Clay entire car with Mothers clay bar. As I stated above the car was heavily covered with tar and the clay took them right off with no problems. This clay bar may be a consumer product but I`ll be damned if it isn`t one of the best clay`s I`ve used. It`s soft, very pliable and just picks up contaminants like nobodies business!! :up
Polish with Meg`s #82 SFP with a Meg`s 8006 pad and my PC set at 5 (set at 6 on the hood and deck lid). For a car this age it had very few swirls. This combo knocked them right out.
Seal with Meg`s NXT with a Meg`s 8006 pad and my PC set at 4. I love this product on black...gives a very wet look.
NXT on the rims as well, Meg`s Hot Shine on the tires and ClearKote`s Vanilla Moose on all exterior glass.
