Memorial Day Detail
Since I had time, I went to town detailing all 3 vehicles this weekend... wash and wax, mostly.... swirl-free polishing was already done earlier this spring.
After a torrential downpour this past week, and several trips to visit family, the beast was covered in grime and bugs. Correction was done earlier this spring (using Menz SIP/85RD and Flex), so proper washing techniques is all that was needed to maintain the swirl free finish. (FYI, already used Opti-coat 2.0 on my Civic, but I am still debating whether or not to Optimum Opt-coat 2.0 it yet or not... I still love using my Fuzion and Souveran and Supernatural and 50/50 alternately.... hmmmmmmm) *EDIT: will post some pics of the Civic detail, and of course the Z detail later as well. Process: 2 bucket method 2 grit guards DP Extreme Foam ONR (2 capfuls) OPC for bugs ARO for rims and tires (Daytona and boar's hair brush) Sonax High Speed Wax (my new favorite spray wax/drying aid...uber slick) and MF's for drying 2 coats of CG 50/50 (looks and applies as easy as Souveran, but with better flake pop and much better durability) https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-0...0/DSC_1262.jpg https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-K...0/DSC_1261.jpg https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-a...0/DSC_1256.jpg https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-K...0/DSC_1252.jpg Now some in-sun close ups to show a swirl free finish and the Honda Nighthawk pearl paint flake. I love that little hint of blue. https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-F...0/DSC_1245.jpg https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-W...0/DSC_1249.jpg https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-P...0/DSC_1248.jpg https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-t...0/DSC_1251.jpg https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-L...0/DSC_1253.jpg https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-F...0/DSC_1263.jpg Yes, even the mirrors are swirl free;) https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-c...0/DSC_1265.jpg Thanks for looking!!! |
Looks good man! I've been detailing the Z this weekend as well using Zaino.
I'm gonna pick up a PC in the next month or so to get rid of those annoying swirls! |
