Process involved:

Wheels were cleaned with Showroom FX's Wheel Cleaner and Various Brushes
Car was washed with with Chemical Guy's Citrus Wash and Gloss through an Autogeek Foam Gun
Claymagic Claybar was used to remove the contaminants from the paint before polishing
The car was compounded with Meguiar's M105 via Flex and Orange pad at speed 6
The car was then finished off with Meguiar's M205 via Flex and Green pad at speed 5
Everything was sealed using Showroom FX Blazin Maize sealant on Black pad at speed 3
The car received the final wipedown with Showroom FX's Detail Mist with Showroom FX Gray Plush Microfibers
The wheels and exhaust tips were lightly cleaned/polished/sealed with Chemical Guy's Metal Polish
The Wheels/Trim/Rear Valance/Front Grill were dressed with Chemical Guy's VRP Dressing and I used the Showroom FX 4" applicator puck for the tires. It's easily the best tire applicator I have used.
The Wheel Wells were treated with Chemical Guy's Bare Bones spray
The entire interior was wiped down and vacuumed as well to clean it up.
So here are some pictures. I got NEAR perfection out of it from the M105 and M205 combo....

Very nice job, where are you located and how much $ for a job like that ?

Looks great! Awesome job man. Car is beautiful. Love that color combination.

CaniacFan · 08-23-2010, 07:12 PM

Holy Cow, that was some heavy swirling going on there with the paint, ouch. Love the finished product, paint was popping and you could actually see the flecks in the paint.

Good job.

Excellent job, it's a lot of work to go through all those steps, but the rewards are well worth it.

thats bangin!

FloydSummerOf68 · 08-23-2010, 07:42 PM

Thanks for all the comments guys...it's really appreciated.

I was REALLY pleased with how the car turned out. To date it was actually my favorite detail simply because of how well everything turned out, how pleased the owners were, AND got to use my new FLEX polisher for the first time

As you can see the detail turned out awesome. Shawn did a fantastic job on the car. I wish that you all could see it in person as well. The polishing brought out a deeper blue color to the paint and the flake was really popping in the Texas sun. If you are in the Houston area give Shawn a PM. I live in Katy so he services the surrounding area as well.

Here are a few more pics.

Thanks for the kind words Josh!

Nice Job, indeed.

I had this same process done to my IBM here in Austin right after I bought it.
The paint "leveling" made it turn even bluer. Very Nice!
Showroom FX and Meguire's work SO well.
This is one of the nicest looking GM blues I have seen in a long time.
ABM is OK but the IBM is just, oh my :-)
My detailers still say this is the nicest color they've ever worked on.

FloydSummerOf68 · 08-25-2010, 08:13 PM

Yeah, this cars flake was beautiful when we were done.

I was legitimately impressed with how it turned out.
