06 GTO with mini reviews (56K careful)

[quantim0]

So I received some new products and went to town. I had to strip off my P21S first.

- Sprayed tires and wheel wells down with DP Exterior Cleanse All: great stuff, removed everything from my tires and wheel wells.
- Cleaned rims with DP Wheel Gel: I had new tires installed and the mechanics got grease and stuff all over my rims (besides scratching my rims). This gel took it straight off with just light aggitation with OXO wheel brush
- Foam gun and ShMITT with DP Extreme Foam: Foamed like crazy (see picture) and had no problem removing dirt from the car. Pretty slick, but not that much better then NXT. I have to try NXT with the foam gun to see if the DP is worth the extra cash.
- Dried with Ult. Guzzler
- Cleaned glass with DP Krystal Vision: Best glass cleaner I have ever used and worked great with the Cobra WW glass towel
- Dressed tires with Pinnacle Black Onyx: Great shine and super easy to apply with Cobra tire dressing pad
- Trim with PB trim restore
- Klasse AIO windows, paint, and lights
- Sealed paint with DP surface shield: Super easy to put on and even easier to take off. Paint was super slick afterwards. Let sit for 12 hours.
- Pinnacle Souveran: First time I tried it and it is so easy to put on and take off. It has been cloudy and rainy for 3 days here and I have avoided driving the car. I want to sun to come out so I can see how good it looks.
- Dressed engine plastics with PB TR

Now the pictures:

This is after spraying with the foam gun and then sitting for a few min while I find my camera.

That looks great. Just let someone tell you those GTO's don't look sharp. Thanks for showing.

Dude, that thing looks flawless! And wow on that engine bay.

Great mini write up too. Thanks for taking the time to do so. You used some products that have not been mentioned in a while.

Man, I love that blue!

Looks awesome, bro!

Thanks guys. One of those arches over loaded a circut and almost burned down my house. They are all the way down our street, they look nice at night.

I just laughed and I have no idea why.

Sorry.....

Looking good. Take a pic of those arches lighted up, I am curious to see the effect. Oh and definitely let us know about the DP Extreme Foam vs. NXT

Great job! I agree with Justin and Nica, that engine bay is brillant! The whole car looks great and you did a good write up. Thanks for sharing!

Actually detailing OCD saved my life. I happened to be in the garage when the outlet caught on fire. What was I doing?? Dressing my trim at 2am.

See, all of this madness has a purpose. Thank goodness you were out there when it happened. You did an outstanding job on the car and prevented a fire all at the same time. OCD to the rescue.

All kidding aside, your car looks awesome. That blue is beauiful and you made it pop. Thanks for the write-up too.

Very nice looking car! My friend has an earlier model GTO white w/ red interior. I like the car a lot better since they put the new hood on and made some other small changes to the exterior. It just looked too plain originally.

Dressing my trim at 2am.

Hi my name is Nica and I too….(sob)….have a detailing problem.....

It's all good, god knows I've done that many times. For some reason when you’re in the garage detailing your car time just seems to fly...or is that just me.

I really appreciate the compliment. However, I have only been into car detailing since September. I think I have much further to go until I am even in the same building as him.
