First of all, I’d like to thank Dylan from Adams (also Ashley for placing a 2nd order in a rush and have everything shipped together) and Phil from Detailer’s Domain. You guys are great asset to this community and I’m glad to have you guys here. I can’t describe how many hours I have spent browsing Adams site (and their forum) or reading/looking at Phil’s detail threads. Also, I’d like to specially thank Junkman for his detail videos and answering my pms! Those are awesome videos. I have learned a LOT of technique watching those videos. Thank you.

I have owned my Z for about a two year now (two year anniversary was on March 29th). It has seen days where it’s sunny and bright; however it has also seen days where it was snow, salt and slush! Even though I have never paint corrected or used high quality detailing products before, I have always made sure I wasn’t putting swirls on my Z. Last two years, I have used touchless car wash and hand washed/waxed (pepboy shelf wax) the car (in summer) but I have ALWAYS wanted to do the job right with a Porter Cable. After two years, 20+ junkman videos, Adams volume 6 and 7 dvd series, and hours of reading at detailing forums etc, I finally was ready to tackle this big task.

I am absolutely novice. This is my first time doing something like this. So, feel free to give me advice or suggestion or simply comment and let me know how I did. I love getting feedback and learn new tips/tricks.

I always take a lot of pictures during my DIY projects. So, below, I’ll just guide you through the picture gallery and use comments below each picture to describe what’s going on. Thank you for you patience

Lets start with some BEFORE pics. Car may NOT look filthy, but it hasn’t been hand washed in 5 months!

Look at the dirt!
