The girlfriend made fun of my small... - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

vanity mirrors.

So, in spite - I gave her one big mirror.

Steps taken;

Wash
Clay
Wash
Machine Polish
Machine Sealant
Glaze
Wax

I didn't get perfect, and I didn't expect to. I've always enjoyed cleaning cars, this was the first time I've used a machine to polish. It was fun and different, but still took a lot of time.

I used Adam's SSR, SHR, and FMP. I didn't remove 100% defects, the evil light bulb in the sky will always remind me how much I suck.

Dang black paint!

But it helped... a ton!

Products used:

Adam's Shampoo
Meguiar's Clay / Meguiar's Detail Spray
Adam's SSR, SHR, FMP, and MSS
Adam's Brilliant Glaze
Meguia'rs Gold Class Carnuaba Paste Wax
Adam's Detail Spray
Bud Light

That looks soooo good. Too bad mine never will.

Lookin' REALLY good... never want to aim for perfect your first time out, but as you practice and get your technique dialed in you'll get there.

Thanks for your business and nice job!

I dont understand why girls complain about the vanity mirror. I once had to wait the car and i did my entire face sitting there. Mind you in my pic i wear large amounts of makeup on a daily basis.

Looking good! When I saw the thread title I thought it was going to be about engine size lol

. Great job on the car, black is a pain to keep clean. let alone mirror polish.
