Stopped by my friend Steve last Sunday morning to take a look at his car and to do some paint correction and polish
The Process

-Washed the car using the two-bucket method, Duragloss Car Wash and Wash Mitt
-Claybar with Clay Magic
-Polished out swirls with Menzerna PO85RD3.02
-Followed up with Red Moose Machine Glaze
-Topped with Victoria Concours Wax (I applied this wax by hand; as bare hands!)
-Rejex Paint Sealant on front nose, bumpers, and bottom skirts
-Cleaned polished rims with Jeff Werkstatt Prime
-Dressed tires with Poorboys Natural Look rubber, vinyl, leather cleaner
-Windows cleaned with Stoners Invisible Glass, and topped with Detaling Dynamics Liquid Gloss Spray
-Cobra Indigo MF
After washing the car, I took a look to see what I had to work with. Here's what I found:

At this point I'm like; "well Steve, I think I need to call in sick on this one" :D

Having seen the damage, I got my PC and my Sonus Swirl Buster Orange Pads ready. It was time to send Menzerna to the rescue!
After initially working the menz in with my orange pads at 6 on most severe areas, I knew then it wasn't going to be too bad --it was doable. I had faith in my PO85RD3.02; this product Rocks! there's not two ways about it. Paired with the Sonus Swirl Buster Orange Pad, and you'll be in for a treat. It's crazy, I have a litre of PO85RD that I'm yet to use for the first time. I can work the 3.02 on my last set with decreased pressure -same orange pad- to finish LSP ready

These are the results...

Awesome, I find that sometimes I just like to go over the car with the 85RD with a white or grey LC pad to get it to shine just that little bit more. Depends on the car, but I here you about the 3.01!!!!
 
hmm if thats a real ws6 formie hes got a very very rare fbody on his hands... the work looks great
 
GREAT Job. :applause:

Menzerna is my go to for polishes as well.. :cheers:
 
I have found there is nothing better than Menzerna for black. Nice job on the car.
 
Menzerna rocks! It's one of those products people talk a lot about and it truly delivers as advertised
I tried the Victoria Concours Wax on a recommendation, and is also great on black. The Poorboys Natural Look was also great on the tires, and some interior parts I did

I think the hood on this car is aftermarket for what my friend Steve was telling me as I was detailing it. It really is a sweet looking car. He's stoked about it. The thing that made me happy after this job is that he said: "Goose, since I've owned this car, I've never posted any pics of my car on the internet like others do, because it looked so bad"
Now he can :cheers:
 
That thing was hacked to peaces it looked horriable now it looks great
 
Very nice turn around, that paint looks wet and has good depth to it. I just placed an order for a bunch of Menzerna products, looking forward on playing wound with them.

Oh by the way you take wicked pictures.

Oh hey sparkie, I can't see your pictures any more. The one's on your signature, all I see now is x? Or is that just me?
 
Thoughts on Rejex/Detailing Dynamics product? How'd you get 3.02? So hard in the States!

I've got my 3.02 from Ireland. Yes, it's not avaiklable on the states. Great product by the way, it has enough lube to allow you to work the product longer, and finish LSP ready at the same time
The Detailing Dynamics Liquid Gloss QD is great. Very easy to use. I haven't tried as intended yet. I will do that on my vette and see how it does. Right now it spreads easy and remove just as easy on glass, and paint. On paint I've used it between steps. I'll use it later as a stand-alone
Rejex, has been one of my favorite sealants, it has done a great job for me

Speaking of sealants, I have some sample of Wolfangs Deep Gloss Sealant that Scott sent me a while back. I tried it today for the first time on a yellow C6 Corvette. Pics of that Monday :)
