Just picked up a used '09 Z06 a few weeks ago. Started detailing it over the past few days, doing a little at a time. Will update this thread as I progress. The car is clean for the mileage, but of course black shows everything. And it appears that some type of paint overspray (tiny...

I just bought a used Corvette, and have some questions for the experts in here. The bolts for the caliper are showing some nasty surface rust that I want to address, as well as the hardware for the 2-piece rotor. I tried using a degreaser and worked it in with a soft bristle brush. This...

I did a thorough detail on my Z06 that I picked up back in March (thread here: http://www.autopia.org/forum/showthread.php?t=127748 ). I addressed the water spot etching with my PC, orange CCS pad, Menzerna PO85RD 3.02, and patience. At the time, this combination took care of most marring...

I sold my Evo IX back in December in hopes of picking up a used Z06. I ended up finding a low-mile clean (we will get to that later) black on black 2007 Z06. The car was not "clean" (as in freshly washed) when I saw it to take it for a test drive. I did see that there were virtually no rock...

There was some house/building painting going on near where my wife parks her car for work. As is turns out, overspray is all over the Jetta, including the hood, front fenders, windshield and bumper. And this isn't a little bit of overspray either. Tiny tan paint drops are literally all over...

The truck sees a lot of miles (already at 52,000 miles) so I wasn't trying to do any major swirl/marring removal. I got a great deal on the All-In-One a while back, so I decided to try it out. It was real easy to use, and did a good job for what it is. I highly recommend this CG's product! I...

Found this TSB a few places and found it an interesting read. Most of you guys already know this stuff, but it was pretty cool to read in a GM Bulletin. Here are a few main points: 1. "Customers and dealership personnel must be advised to NEVER ALLOW WHEEL CLEANER, TIRE CLEANER, or...

Car was recently purchased used. Car came to me in decent shape, but had severe marring on all panels. Many paint transfer type "scratches" on the doors, from other car doors hitting when opening. Also many severe scratches on rear bumper. Previous owner did quick touch-up paint job to...

The car came to me in decent condition, but desperately needed a polish. Wasn't able to spend much time on this one, so I went with a one step polish. It had some scratches in places and the hood and trunk had severe holograms. The SIP took care of the holograms and really made the metallic...

Did a white Mitsubishi Evo yesterday. I used SIP on the whole car, and it took care of most fine scratches and finished nicely. I then stepped up to the P106 with Meg's yellow pad to get more shine. I started on the door, and For some reason I got hazing. I was working slowly allowing the...
