Detailed: 2009 Pontiac G8

[calhoun1]

Last week I finally had the time to detail the car. It has been about 2 years since the last polish, so way overdue.

Process:
Washed with Megs GC
Wheels were cleaned with Simple Green and using the Daytona Speed Master brushes
Clayed with Meg's Aggressive Clay with Megs Last Touch as lube
Washed again with Megs GC

Polished with CCS 5.5" pads and PC2474, 2 step process
SIP with orange
106FA with white

Followed by another wash to get all the polish residue off.

Applied WG DGPS with a blue pad. Let sit for 45 minutes. Then buffed off and let it rest for about 14 hours.

For the topping I used PB Black Hole with a blue pad.
Then Fuzion by hand. The car finally looks the way it is supposed to!

After Claying (lots of hazing)

The before photos show an average daily driver but the after photos make it look better than showroom condition! rops:

Thank you for the comments. I love the finished product and like most on here I love the process as well.

Looks great, I've got a friend with one that looks identical. Nice car and good job bringing it back.

360 turn around! Looks remarkable. How did you like the Meguiar's Agressive Clay?

The Meg's aggressive clay actually worked really well. It got all the contamination off the paint. I wouldn't recommend it unless you planned on some kind of polish though due to the hazing/marring it left behind.
