Detailed with PC and Wolfgang Swirl Removal Kit
 
Hey, so i got a PC 7424XP with the wolfgang total swirl remover kit. after washing my car, i decided i'd 'touch up' a few spots that were bothering me. i clayed the areas and polished them. But before long, what started as a 'spot fix' turned into me doing a full exterior detail on my car. i wound up claying, machine polishing, glaze (lighter polish) and sealing with wolfgang deep gloss paint sealant, all using the PC 7424XP. all i can say is i'm really happy with how it turned out :)
pics from inside my garage, tough to get some good angles. still a bit of dust from wiping away the sealant left over in some pics

Looks good. I too will be doing this soon. It is a chore, but worth it.

thanks :)

if you use the sealant and wash properly, you should really only have to do this once or twice a year. so yes, it is a chore, but not one that must be done often. and i must admit, there is sometthing really fun about making a surface really shiny.

And clean up your garage.. :D

Jeffblue 12-05-2010 06:13 PM

Great looking Z! I did the same over the weekend. I’m sure you can’t stop going to the garage as well just to look at it:)

Trips 12-05-2010 11:37 PM

Great job! :tup: When you coming over to do mine?

pzero_7 12-19-2010 02:01 PM

holy cow dude! great job. i bought the PC7424 and wolfgang 3.0 swirl remover too. haven't used it yet. but good to see the results on your's does your's have the clear bra on as well? did you remove that before detailing your car or did you just left it on? mine has it as well and i am contemplating whether to leave it on or remove it. probably leave it on though.

thanks man! ohh definitely leave on the clear bra. there are products used to clean the clear bra. you can pretty much clay it, and then use the finishing glaze (which is basically a light polish) and use the wolfgang sealant on it. although expel sells a special sealant for the clear bra.

Junkman2008 12-19-2010 06:58 PM

Man, that looks outstanding! Very nice job. :tup:

Now clean up that garage! :rofl2:

yeah-I was looking to get a clear bra-but am not sure what would haze it up, etc.
Z looks awesome! I did not even see the garage for the shine on that car!

:tup: great job! Looks good, wolfgang is a great product line. Really good job and I know how this crap is addicting... from touching up some spots to just doing the whole car.

wheee! 12-31-2010 06:25 PM

Looks awesome Jeff! Wish it was warm enough here for some garage detailing... :shakes head:

HATED1 12-31-2010 07:46 PM

I don't see your z? All I see is a mirror of you and your garage.

I agree. This is what I use but my garage is drafty so the air gets recirculated often. Warms the place up really quick!

i was using like 2 of the electric ones, but that one is propane right? i have been in a room with those, omg those things are insane they are so powerful. how much is one of those?

Kirkster 01-01-2011 11:37 AM

That looks like a Kerosene one. I just picked one up for $199 a few weeks ago and it helped with the coilover install, so I may go out to the garage and get out the Clay and PC now...

k20z3 01-01-2011 12:25 PM

Holy ****, wonderful! where is this product! Someone should do a DIY for this so I could do it to my car!

Actually, it runs on kerosene, gas or diesel. A buddy of mine let me borrow it a few years ago and every time I tried to give it back, he never has time to pick it up. Hell, I even offered to buy it from him. It's a must have for me because I'm in the garage all winter long.

You haven't seen any of my DIY's on this? I have over 100 videos and some are posted at this forum!

As for my garage, it stay a round 10 degrees below freezing this time of year... I need a garage furnace.

Be careful with those industrial heaters, they burn the available oxygen in the room!!!!

I use a propane one with an oxygen depletion sensor, works pretty well for my 2-car garage with tall ceilings.
