Ohh, I'm in pain. Why'd I pick the hottest day of the year? At least the tent I bought kicked butt.

Only concentrated on the paint, but I learned a lot between 10:30am and 8:30pm (hey, this was my first time using a PC!). One of those things being having one of those rolling garden stool things works great. Also, maybe because of the heat, but the SFX3 and blue pad were hard to work with. They kept getting 'gunked' up. Oo, the smell of Z-5Pro can get annoying after a while. Drink lots of a water! Was too tired to take it into the light when I was done; I'll do that tomorrow

Rear right fender

After the SFX2 the right rear is getting better...

Next weekend I'll do a Z-8 wipedown and put some Z-2Pro layers on.
 
First wash since the detail. Used Z7 for the first time. Nice smell and it stays bubbly for a while. New sheepskin washmit also rocked. Dried with The Absorber as usual.

Turned out really nice! Don't worry about the time, first use of the PC never seems to go fast. It gets faster and easier, I promise. ;)
 
Excellent work with the car. Looks great! My first time with a PC took about that long and the second time around it took 5 hours.
