Got it from the dealer having been detailed by their in-house "detailer". Noticed the swirls and holograms right away. Started by claying the car, then polishing with a PC using progressively finer pads and polishes...Severe Swirl Remover, followed by Swirl and Haze Remover, then Fine Machine Polish. Then a paint sealant Machine Superwax, let it cure, then Brilliant Glaze and two coats of Americana carnauba. Did this over a couple of weeks.

Awesome, it looks great and worth every minute you spent on it! I just finished my black Z a couple weeks ago...did the same thing but finished with the machine superwax (a couple coats) I was blown away with the results I got using the adams polishes...I may order the Americana next time and try that out.

I like the look of paste waxes and sealants myself... I just love that I can put some duragloss on a PC pad and just go over the car, it takes off all of the little tar marks, or any sort of very stains that washing didn't get off. It's just easier than removing all of the little spots with a tar remover or having to clay it... but then again you guys with the dark colors don't have to worry about that as much... white sucks in that regard.
