    95 Z28 convertible correction, polish, & seal

    A friend of mine picked up this 95 Z28 at an estate sale. Only 9700 miles! It had been garaged its whole life, but still it was swirl city & had some weird film all over it. (I even had to polish the exterior glass because of the film) Anyway, after clay I went over the whole car with Menz FG400...

    Avon! I thought that last pic looked familiar! I did the lap last year on community day, but they're not doing it this year.

    Oh, & this is my 2 yr old grandson, Ryan's, 1st Mustang. We'll be taking out the 12V battery & dropping a 24V in when he gets a little older!

    I saw all the posts on SVTPerformance with guys telling you to wrap it. Glad you're not thinking along those lines. Not a Shelby! It's an awesome car. I know, I've got an '09. Do it right.

    I'd give it a shot. Sand with the least abrasive sandpaper necessary. Worst case scenario is you have to repaint, which you're probably going to have to do anyhow.

    I'm old - But I did it

    Great work from another old guy! Just turned 56 last week. Last summer I had 2 customers who wanted their cars done at the same time, so I volunteered to do both on a Saturday. It kicked my butt & I realized real quick not to try that again!

    2014 Chevy Impala detail

    Thanx, guys. It's funny, but I don't always 2-step a daily driver. A lot of times FG400 will finish out nice enough to satisfy the customer. But over the winter I traded some stuff to a buddy in exchange for a 32 oz bottle of SF4500, & I really wanted to try it. That's really the only reason I...

    2014 Chevy Impala detail

    2014 Impala finished. Standard wash & clay, then 2-step polish with Menzerna FG400 & SF4500, & sealed with Menzerna Power Lock. The car lives outdoors & is parked under a tree. It had bird poo etchings everywhere. Fortunately they weren't too deep, because the FG400 got rid of most of them...

    What polish to use before Powerlock?

    I've done lots of cars with FG400, SF4000, then PL. SF4000 has very little cut, but is an awesome finishing polish. As was stated above, make sure you do Eraser or IPA wipedown before sealant.

    2013 Cadillac SRX

    Annual spring Wolfgang detail on the better half's vehicle. Every spring I think about trying a different combo on it, but I'm so happy with how it comes out with Wolfgang that I keep coming back to it. Car had some minor swirling, so after clay I hit it with Total Swirl Remover & white pads...

    Menzerna and Wolfgang?

    I've been doing the wife's Cadillac SRX with Wolfgang every year. In fact I noticed some swirls today, so I'm going to give it a full detail tomorrow. I start with Total Swirl Remover, then go to Finishing glaze, which as previously mentioned is actually a fine polish. I've gotten a nice finish...
