First up is a 1995 Z28. After a long time in the shop (getting a sick 383 LT1 installed for autoXing) and desperately needing a detail, we set it up. Owner requested just a basic detail. It was pretty overcast most of the day, so the pics aren't very bright, but the reflections came out nice.



Process:

-foamed with Dawn (heavy concentrate)

-clay with Zaino claybar with Megs Last Touch 50/50 as lube

-wash with Z7

-Megs APC 3:1 on wheels/tires

-Megs APC 5:1 on interior (extremely dusty) no pics though

-Zaino All in One

-Zaino Z5pro

-Zaino Z6

-Zaino Z16 on tires

Next up is a 2000 Camaro SS. This SS was in pretty bad shape. After discussing the options and timeframe, we went for the basic detail + 1 stage of paint correction. I put some extra time into this one, and ended up finishing at about 1:30am I think. This car chewed up 3 claybars the contaminents were so bad! Oh and the exhaust tips were chipped and rusted, they weren't salvageable. Ok, onto the pics!





Process:

-foamed with Dawn (heavy concentrate)

-clay with Megs Agressive claybar with Megs Last Touch 50/50 as lube

-Menzerna SIP on LC orange

-IPA wipedown

-Zaino Z5pro x2 with ZFX

-Zaino Z6

-Zaino Z16 on tires

Is that Galant a VR4? And whose FD?!



Good job on the cars though :) I don't think I've even used an entire claybar on a car before lol!

Yep they are. The VR4 was getting a turbo upgrade and trans swap at the time. The FD has had some work done to it. Did a 1 step correction on it, might post it later.



Thanks!
