I am still....detailing the car. So far I've done:
Wash
Clay
Wash
Swirl&haze corrector + deep swirl& hand polish

I'm gonna call it a day and just do the glaze/wax tomorrow. My back is freaking killing me.

It sounds like you had an awesome day Jon.. I washed the Z, and used my Dr. Colorchip on the rear bumper for a few spots, AND I mounted my MAZOC decals on both cars, I did something different than the norm, yall will have to see. I like it.

Tomorrow: Finish haze removal. Glaze, wax, sonax+wax on wheels and some tire dressing and I should be good to go.

Most things you do are outside the norm. :icon17:

Funny thing about Bethlehem Steel and Sparrows Point is that the first ship I served on in the Navy was built there and I had never been there. It was sad to see that huge steel plant rusting away there.

Probably less than 5 minutes from us :)

dm what are you using for swirl/haze correction?

I need to get a porter cable or some kind of machine, it always seems like a hand job (no pun intended) doesn't quite get the job done. Would make sense a machine can cut the paint much better, but I'm always afraid of burning the paint or messing it up even more lol

If you're using a machine, like a buffing machine, you want to constantly keep the machine moving, meaning you dont want to buff the same spot for a long duration of time...when you do buff an area for a long time, thats how you fvck up your sh1t.
