Lol I didnt wash with dish soap. I said i would be damned if i ever did! I do know better than that haha. No the car WAS polished correctly and checked with a ipa wipedown and a high powered LED light.

I love most of Griots products and most of my supplies are from Griots. Im not too sold on their polishes though and feel like Meguires is still my go to in that department as well as LC pads over the Griots. I have NOT tried any of the BOSS stuff yet so I cant comment on that. The nice thing...

Ok I already went out and bought some soap. Trying out Griots Garage Brilliant Finish car wash. I usually use Mothers California Gold. Ill look to see if I have any black finishing pads and try some of the menzerna first I suppose and if that doesn't work ill try some M205 on the finishing pad...

Ok so a couple months ago i spent about 15 hours polishing out the BLACK paint on my 2008 Corvette Z06 and had it damn near to perfection! Used orange/M105, white/m205, wolfgang DG, and finished with Pinacle Souveran. Looked spectacular! Fast forward to today. I washed the car two weeks ago but...

I just wanted a black one, simple as that. And the only thing in worse condition is the condition of the paint which im confident that I can bring back to like new except im just not sure what to do with the etchings. Yep its only on horizontal panels like the roof amd decklid like you said...

Hey all, so i just traded my pristine Silver 2008 Z06 in for a Black 2008 Z06 and im getting ready to do a full paint correction on the new car cause its kinda hammered! The car only has 20k miles on it but it pretty obvious somebody didnt know how to care far a black car and i bought it knowing...

Ok thanks for the advice, i have some brand new orange pads and so I think i will just go with what i know and start with a wash, clay bar, M105/orange pad, M205/white pad, and finally a sealer

I just bought a 2008 Corvette Z06 with 16k on the clock. Its has a beautiful Silver metalic paint job, called Machine silver. The car is in very good condition overall without any deep scratches BUT... Its not perfect. It has very minor spider webbing, a couple random "scuffs" and some hard...

Hey all, I just picked up a Machine Silver 2008 Corvette Z06 with 16,500 miles on the clock. The car is not bad off at all and seems to be taken care of by the previous owner pretty well but I can see some light spider webbing and a few light "scratches" here and there. Noting I can feel with my...

thank you for all the eplies everybody. Its starting to help me come up with a ballpark figure in my head which is kinda what I was looking for. I think I will charge him $200 plus some suplies that I will need like pads and clay, maybe even some Nattys blue since his car is Black and I dont...

dude, come on, the first thing I thought of when I saw the after shots of the car outside was "ok... HDR,HDR,HDR, where are the real pictures!?" Nice HDR's but those hardly count. The ones inside the garage look great and I dont think you needed to mdify the others at all.

So i am defiitely no professional and I do not do this on a regular basis for money but, lately I have had some of my friends and aquaintences hit me up for a detail job after seeing the condition of my personal rides. I have been toying around with the thought of doing a couple for some of my...

Re: Video: How detailing clay works and how to use detailing clay to remove above surface bonded contaminants wow, thank you for the prompt and in-depth response! I guess Ill just quit being a feakin cheap skate and go buy some QD. Or... were you also implying that a QD wouldnt be good to use...

Re: Video: How detailing clay works and how to use detailing clay to remove above surface bonded contaminants can you use other types of liquids for a clay lubriacant or should you only use a QD with it? I am asking because my friend gave me a brand new bar of detailing clay but no lubricant...

BUUUUUZZZZZZZZZZ! Oh im sorry bob, wrong answer! We were looking for Kenne Bell Cobra FTMFW :poke: but thanks for playing and well see you at the finish line. J/K! nice splurge OP. Wish I could throw down an order like that.
