So a couple of my club members are getting married tomorrow. I told them that as a wedding present I'd detail their car for them. The car was in pretty good shape other than just about every panel that could have swirl marks had swirl marks.
Process
Wash
Clay
Vacuum
Wipe down interior with Z10 and Mother's back to black
Sprayed wheels, tires,and wheel wells with PB's APC
PB's SSR2.5 w/orange pad @ speed 5
PB's SSR1 w/white pad @ speed 5
PB's EX w/Blue pad @ speed 3. Removed w/MF
Tires dressed w/Z16
Then I ran out of daylight. Monday I'll get a coat of Natty's Blue done.
On with the pics

Thank you. He's going to get some full daylight shots for me in the morning. I told his mom and dad that if anyone decorated the car they'd incur my wraith...lol
 
ooo GTO... If I ever find an orange one for a good price, Im all over it. (I may just have to break my "no American car" rule")
 
Looks good the Nattys Blue should add a very nive wet look to it.
 
Looks great Shauna!!! I really like that color!! Even though I am a little partial to black!!!
 
looking good, I actually met someone in my town with an IBM 04 GTO today, that color cleans up nice. How did you like the PB polishes? I was reading on another forum, and alot of people were bashing the polishes to no end. They seemed to work well for me though. Good job :cheers:

Thanks. Yes, this color cleans up great. Almost as good as the PBM.
I like the PB's polishes. They are easy to work with and you can't argue with the results. I'm finding that no matter what forum you're on someone finds a product to bash to no end. No complaints from me at all.

That's just crazy talk! Poorboy's World makes great polishes and other products too. LittlemissGTO just proved it!
 
Looks great. That's a good blue it finishes off nicely. It was nice of you to do that as a present.
 
So I got my hands on the car again today. On the agenda was to get at least two coats of wax on the car.
Todays process was:
PB's Spray and Wax
Natty's Blue
Z5
Dress the tires and wipe down the dash. For some reason the Mother's Back to Black streaked the dash like crazy. I used Z10 this time. (Note: The door trim was wiped down after this picture was taken.)

Really great job, it's amazing how the blue pops again, how long did it took, I mean the entire detailing?

Would say about 9 hours. That's with using the UDM and taking a couple of breaks.
