    Cyber Gray 2009 Z06 Detail

    This is my friend's brother's car. IIRC it has around 2,000 miles on it, and the paint had very minor marring, which M205 corrected without issue. See process and pics below.

    Wash:
    Meguiar's Gold Class Shampoo
    Sheepskin Wash Mitt
    Lake Country wash sponge
    Two-bucket method w/Grit Guards

    Wheels:
    P21S Wheel Cleaner Gel
    Daytona Speedmaster Wheel Brush
    Pinnacle Microfiber Detailing Mitt (for face of wheel)
    Clean Wheel Lug Nut brush
    Grit Guard

    Duragloss #501 Marine/RV Polish
    Optimum Opti-Seal

    Clay:
    DP Universal Detailing Clay
    DP Universal Clay Lubricant

    Paint Correction:
    Flex XC3401 VRG
    Lake Country Hydro-Tech Tangerine 6.5" pads (took 3 to do the whole car)
    Meguiar's #205 Ultra Finishing Polish

    LSP:
    Wolfgang Fuzion Carnauba Polymer Estate Wax via Lake Country 6.5" CCS Gray finishing pad

    Odds and ends:
    Poorboy's Bold 'N Bright on tires
    303 Aerospace Protectant on all trim and wheelwells
    Menzerna Polishing Cream Metal Polish on exhaust tips
    Sprayway Glass Cleaner on glass
    3M Automotive Masking Tape on all emblems, weatherstripping, trim, etc


    Before:












    Marring was hard to capture with my point & shoot camera, but my LED flashlight did a good job at showing everything in person.








    After:








    Exhaust tips before/after





    And all finished


























    This one is next on the list

    Very nice work. Ton of depth from the polishing. I'm still wanting to try out some of the new LC pads.
