I have done a few customer cars that seem to have an area of heavy swirls, or just slashes across the entire car and sometimes I have to really just sit there and work in one small area at a time to get them out. I eventually get them out, but I feel that I am being inefficient. There has to...

haha, check out the blue C5 Z06. It says "LOL CYA" :)

Thanks for the compliments! As far as pads go I used orange/105, white/205, white/360 and grey with the sealant. I had to really work the 105 to get some of the deeper swirls out but it turned out pretty good IMO :)

PCXP was the polisher and for the hard clear I had to use meg's 105/205. Since the Menzerna 85rd was on backorder, I had to try something else so I use Pinnacle's 360 and then topped it with Wolfgang Deep Gloss Sealant. I wish I got a real camera but this'll have to do.

A few of the car over the weekend. I didn't have my camera on me, only had my phone camera, with the overcast so the pictures aren't spectacular but it works. Looks muuuuch better in person, as with all the other jobs that we do :) clickable thumbnails:

I ordered the 85rd and it's on backorder!

07Z, silver is a beautiful color it really shows the body curves of that car and I love it. Actually I just love it period haha. pushtiulk, thank you for the compliments and overall working time took me about 7-8 hours. It was a period over 3 days, I was doing it at night and it was in the...

07 Z, yes I do, under the same name. I was so close to getting a silver one, then it was a Cyber Grey, but I couldn't get away from black. With that said I am never buying another black car. It spends as much time getting cleaned as I drive it!

I used 105/205 on my black C6 last night on a section of the door where there was a ton of scratches like a cat had a pillow fight on it. The 205 with the white pad left a ton of holograms that I couldn't seem to clear up, so I switched to a grey pad and it cleaned it up about 90% but I could...

The waxes and sealants that are based on color is more of a recommendation, or a compliment to that color, doesn't mean you can't use it for other colors. For the Ford Mystichrome color I find that any wax that works well with dark colors will work well with the paint. That color looks...

Haha, that's actually mine, in all her dirty glory. I put a seal on her last night and will wax her tonight when I get home from work. Hopefully this weekend the sun will be out to take a few good shots of the car.. I don't have any since I've owned it.

Asphalt I appreciate all of your responses in all of my threads. I see that Z06 in your avatar, in my favorite color too. During this cold weather, I cannot seem to break down the polish to *that* point. I work it and work it.. but as soon as I feel like it's starting to break down one...

I could have sworn I read somewhere a review that said that Souveran wasn't the best for black paint.. there's a BOGO on it right now that's why I held off on it. But maybe I'll add that to my order!

Has anyone heard of this wax? It is sold in industrial 1gallon sizes and my Zep rep gave me one of these for free to try out. I have tried it on my girlfriend's 2008 Accord and it is very wet upon application, you can actually see water beads above the wax. I thought I was using too much but...

Thanks everyone, I am still new to this detail business, have TONS to learn, but I love doing it! Definitely an addiction. I can't stop placing orders haha. Yes black will need this every month but that means return customers! My vette just got back getting wet-sanded to get the factory...

And one of my favorite shots. Top right corner is the cage of the halogen light I was using.

My favorite Color, black. This car has 1100 miles on it, is a month old and had gone through 2 washes before I laid my hands on it. The car rolled off of the truck while the owner was signing papers. Upon first inspection during the day, it looked pretty decent. So I brought my light...

I used white pads and Wolfgang TSR on a PC 7424XP. The swirls weren't too bad and the white definitely got them out so I didn't think I needed to go orange. This was my first detail from a paying customer, I usually just do friends and family and I wish I could have gotten more pictures.. but...

Just wanted to share with you guys a customer's GT500 I did last weekend. Unfortunately, it has been raining here for 2-3 weeks and had tons of overcast so I could not get BLING pictures, but wanted to share anyways. I started in the evening so the before pictures were taken in my garage and I...

Thanks for the reply. It was about 70% last night I was just making sure I wasn't doing anything wrong, or if anyone had any tips or tricks to do this while in cold weather.
