Thanks to Brandt for letting Bret and I use his place again. Both Bret and I would of been dead in this heat if we did not have the use of your AC'd garage again today. The lift does not hurt either. 
The owner picked up this car a few months ago, contacted me back then and we finally got together to give it our best.
This one just about kicked us right in the balz. :wall
All of the horz surfaces had horrible deep water etching.
How deep, I'll let you be the judge of that.
Before
From here just an average looking 03 Z06 with 22k miles on it:
So its a little dirty:
Then the fun starts:
The hood is looking really nice.
During:
Bret just chillin in his flip flops while he foams the car down with Z7.
While the foam was doing its thing, I sprayed down the wheels with PB SnR and let it dwell.
While Bret cleaned the tires and wells with some AM 777 APC 1:4, I apply some PB bug squash to the front and lower areas behind the wells. I then scrubbed those areas with a bug sponge. We rinsed everything off and then Bret washed the car with the 2 bucket method while I rolled the car back and applied more of the SnR to the wheels that where covered by the calipers. We wanted the barrels of the wheels 100% clean. I started rinsing off the car and the wheels.
After that we clayed the car with Z6 and Zaino Z-18 clay. We where suprised by the lack of bonded contaminants.
So we got the car in the garage, fired up the AC and lined up the car on the lift.
We started on an easy area to see what the side panels would require. Looks like a edge yellow wool pad/Presta 1500/ 1500 metabo followed by 106ff/white LC CCS pad/hitachi 1500 would work very well.
Please pardon my crappy picture taking ability. I have my new canon rebel XT and it really shows that I suck at taking pics.
Maybe you can see that the right side is the after polishing side and the left side is not as clear. I know I am reaching here. :bat
Close up of the polished area:
It seemed like the best pics where at ISO 100, White balance set at fluorescent. Using a tripod and manual focus with most of the overhead lights off. If anybody can suggest a better setting, I am listening.
Then it came time to try a section on the rear deck lid. Again all horz panels where covered w/ deep water etching.
I got out the Edge black heavy cut wool and the Strada 1000 cut polish. I figured a pass or two and we would be good to go. After 2 passes at 1500, Bret followed with 106ff and a white CCS pad.
