Thumbs up

If I lived in your area I would bring one in for you to detail. The 370Z's paint is a subject of many a thread here because it chips easily and it's soft. Different colors, different results. Also, the paint does change hues on the lighter colored plastics parts over time. I hope someone here does have their 370Z done by you. I know you are not inexpensive, but I've seen so many of your photo essays that there is no doubt you're worth it. The ideal situation would be someone with a new 370Z who also does both the detail and clear bra just after buying it.

Phil,

What polish/wax products to your recommend for a silver Z that is less then a year old?

I saw your post regarding 1Z einszett Glanz and saw that you used Menzerna on the GTR.

I need to remove some swirls similar to the GTR but am looking for a good maintenance combo after removing them.

Here are a few kits
http://www.detailersdomain.com/theco...na16ozkit.aspx

http://www.detailersdomain.com/theub...gcombokit.aspx

It would just depend on how bad the paint is.

I would recommend these Uber Pads

Yellow (for cut)
Orange(for med cut)
Green (med/polish)
Blue (final polish)
Black (wax)

for the last step for protection any of the below will give you great results

einszett Glanz
Menzerna Power Lock

Clay bar kit


you will want to

Wash --> Clay --> Polish (1 or 2 steps) ---> Protect.

Anyone know if it's safe to use a clay bar on a clear bra?
