Hello WORLD!



Detailed this lovely 370Z about a year ago, never got around the posting it here. The owner contacted me originally to correct the paint caused by lots of scratches on the paint. Being 2 months old, we needed to get it back in good shape. And that's what we did, that's what we DID!



I'll let the pictures tell the story. No one reads this anyways. Why am I even typing??? I am a loser.



1) Wash w/ CG CWG and Zymol sponge

2) Duragloss Bug Remover decon

3) Clay with Zaino clay

4) Menzerna PO203S w/ green Uber and Flex

5) Jetseal 109

6) Swissvax Saphir

7) Put on shades

8) Relax the seat and turn up the beat

9) Ball out of control



She looked clean when I arrived...

Don't discount the water blade. I use one on all my detailes, it's the older version blade. It gets rinsed down and wiped down before each use. I've never had streaks on my car.



Here's what weekly spring/summer/fall washes and drys with the water blade look like on my paint:

Ohhh, man. Me too. CWB may be the greatest enemy of a properly cared-for finish, not to mention a fresh, black car :(



Piet, finished product looks awesome. I hope you explained to them why you had to take away the CWB ;)
