Recent Details v. My Cobra and a neglected Suburban...

[03COBRA]

First up, my Cobra. So far so good with the Cobra. Didn't need much work. Just wanted to clean it up some after all of the rain and crap we have had lately. I detailed it on Sunday, today just a wash and second coat of Natty's Blue.



My Process:



--Wash w/Optimum wash

--Clay w/Opti-clay and No Rinse for lube

--Optimum Hyper Compound/Polish (50/50) via Cyclo with Propel green pads

--Werkstatt Prime "Strong" via Cyclo and Cyclo brand white pads

--Sprayed CJ on top of Prime after curing for 30 minutes and removed with a quality MF

--Topped with Natty's Blue by hand



--Wheels cleaned with TOL's "gentle" wheel cleaner

--Exhaust tips cleaned with TOL's "gentle" wheel cleaner and polished with Prime

--Poorboy's Wheel Sealand applied to wheels and remove with OCW



--QuikShine on all glass



--Tires and trim dressed with Optimum tire shine

Next up, my co-worker MIke and I made a deal. He put my new springs in for me, and I detail his truck. Good trade off in my opinion, or so I thought.



This truck was the hardest truck to clay I have ever run into. I now see the need for more aggressive clay. I couldn't get the hood "smooth". I did the best I could and it still needed some work though. He rarely washes the truck, parks underneath trees, takes it on trips, etc.... You get the point. A lot of the pics are midstream through the detail. So excuse some "no dressing" pics if you will please.



My Process:



--Pre-wash with Poorboy's Bug Squash

--Foam Gunned w/Gold Class

--Wash w/Optimum wash

--Clay w/Opti-clay

--Optimum Hyper compound/Polish mix via Cyclo and Propel Green pads

--Werkstatt Prime "Strong" via Cyclo and Cyclo brand white pads

--Werkstatt CJ sprayed on Prime after curing 30 Minutes and removed with an MF towel

--Natty's Blue by hand



--TOL's "gentle" wheel wash on wheels

--TOL's tire cleaner on tires and well



--Tires and wells treated with Optimum tire shine



--QuikShine on windows

Nice work man, and awesome lookin' Stang. I love those black FR500s, especially in DD... are those 17s?

:bow Your Mustang looks excellent as expected but the Suburban...wow!



I've done CJ/NB a few times too, really deep, dark and wet!

Scottwax: Thanks Scott. CJ topped with Natty's blue is by far the best black combo I have found.



mblgjr: Thanks for the nice words. Here is an underhood pic.
