Was refered here by someone who gave me some great advice on this project. As a little back ground I recently bought a 2004 Porsche Turbo Cabriolet with 4000 miles on it. Well showroom shine took on swirl hell when I got it in the sun. I think the previous owner must have been lazy and used an automative wash!! ugghhh



So I went to my buddies at the corvetteforum.com Car Care section for some advice. Ended up with a a package from Zaino, a package from Manzerno and a Poter Cable from Autogeek!!!



Started last night and here are the steps I went through for this shine and a brand new finish!!!



Here are my steps: 6PM to 10PM



Dawn Blue Wash

Dry with leaf blower and micro fiber towel

Clay bar Z18 with Quick Detail as lubricant

Manzerno with Porter Cable and Pink Pad

Manzerno II with Porter Cable and White Pad



Sleep "wife says I was talking about the car in my sleep" LOL



7:30 AM to 12 PM



Dawn Blue wash

Dry with leaf blower and micro fiber towel

Z5 wait 30 minutes wipe off with micro fiber cloth

Z5 wait 30 minutes wipe off with micro fiber cloth

Z5 wait 30 minutes wipe off with micro fiber cloth



Z2 wait 30 minutes wipe off with micro fiber cloth



At this point I cleaned windows and interior so any overspray would wipe off when I applied the Z8



Z8 wipe off with a micro fiber cloth as you apply



Enjoy!!!!!!
