4th of July. Used my PC on a Honda S2000!

Hey guys. I'm bored at work, so now I'm going to post pics of a little detail I did for my buddy over the 4th. I started around 10am and we finished around 2pm. I didn't want to spend all day detailing since it was the 4th. I'm a "novice" detailer when it comes to using the PC, AND I've never detailed a black car. This was the 2nd car I've ever detailed other than my car. I've used my PC on special occasions, but only had it since FEB of this year. Well, I was able to remove 60-80% of the defects on his car. He had lots and lots of rock chips, so I avoided that area a lot more. I was a little worried about haze, but the only time it hazed was when I used Z-AIO with a white pad. I did some Z-6 wipe downs afterwards. Anyway, hope you enjoyed.



Process:

Z-7 wash

Clay

Z-7 wash

Dry

PC with yellow pad and Menz IP to whole car

Z-AIO with white pad

Z-5pro enabled with ZFX

Z-6 for any hazing issues.



I used my new Brinkmann Xenon light to capture all the swirls and water spots.

These pics were located on his hood

Now for the afters..........

Sweet! Gives me some motivation to go polish my s2000! All you used was a yellow pad and IP? No need to follow up with FPII?

He followed it up with z-aio with white polish pad.

Thanks for all your kind words. I was so worried about hazing, but no an issue. This was the first time I detailed black and it was rewarding!
