Spent 7 hours on my car today. It was already washed so all I had to do was remove the cover-clay-tape-polish and wax. I'm exhausted!

Come on Spring in Michigan!!

Thanks again to all on this forum for all the great tips!!

Time to relax. Props to you that detail for a living. It's hard work but rewarding at the

end!!
 
Are those stripes not clear coated in? Are they a vinyl type deal?
 
Nice looking ride!! She sure is good looking but I don't know if replacing that cover so soon was a good Idea. You may want to let that Fuzion cure for a few days or you might get some marks from the cover sitting on uncured wax/sealant. Just my thoughts is all.

They are vinyl. I taped them before polishing and then removed the tape and waxed them with the rest of the car

Thanks Dave. I wondered that myself.
 
Looks super glossy. I just love the gloss Fuzion gives.
 
Is that one of the polish pal clay pad thingys?

Yes it is. i love it! You just have to make sure the surface of the "clay disc" is dry (no clay lube on it) when you put your clay on it so it will stick good.
 
38 and sunny here in Detroit today. Roads are really dry so I pulled out my car for a ride. First time since I polished and waxed it. It was really rewarding to see the

mirror like shine on the silver hood as I drove. I know it wasn't like that when I first washed it. Awesome to see the difference especially on a color like silver!
 
Awesome ride and work! You gotta be turning some heads with that baby. Have fun driving her and don't get overly distracted by checking out the reflection on the hood! ;) .
 
Beautiful car and paint. Great job! I'm glad you can finally reap the rewards of your work last month!
 
great job..beautiful car...just like me..wash clean wax baby...then BACK under the cover!
