Not a lot of scratches or swirls but I would like to clay and machine polish her but like Risingson05 says, "it's a lot of work". Plus I have 'the nerves"  , I don't wanna screw anything up. Fit me in after MSgt O, Ok?  |
Risingson's car looks great!!And yours does too!! As clean as yours is it wouldn't be that hard of a job. You just have to make the time to do it, and most of all take your time, don't rush it. When I did my Camaro the year before last, it took me all day to get it done! I started around 9 in the morning and finished around 8 that night, just before it got dark. lol. Wanted to get her done in one day since I don't have a garage to protect her overnight to finish it the next day. It was a lot of work, but man was it worth it!! I used a McGuires clay bar kit, and Chemical Guys waxes and polishes to get the "wet shine" on her, along with a random orbital buffer. I too was affraid to "mess up", but the trick is to NOT spend too much time in any one place, just enough to do a good buff with the polish/wax. Before I did the wax/polish I used their V07 sealer on the paint. For the wax I used their Cherry Wet Wax with the orbital. It all turned out really great. Parked next to my friends ZL1 which he ceramic coated that is CRT in color, both cars just glistened in the sun. These pics are from the day after I did it. So if I can do it, anybody can!! Well almost everybody. lol.
