I'm Tired
I just spent 7 hours detailing my Arctic White vert. Did the claybar, Step 1, Step 2 McGuires and finished off with NXT. Also did the inside top to bottom. The vert looks amazing. THe Z06 chromies really pop againt the white. It's a little dark for pictures now but I'll try to post some tomorrow. This is the most work I have ever done on the finish of a car.....Then again, it's a vette!!!

Getting ready for Saturday! Now it looks as good as it sounds
Are we still doing the meet at your house, or just meeting up at Skyline?

I just polished mine with 180 grit sand paper, Just Kidding! I hear Zaino is the best, I have always used Mcquire products. Any comments from those who have used both. Thankx

Zaino after Zaino does nothing, their tips and e-mails state this. The polish should dry over night before applying a new coat. From what I have been told.

Not a bad day's work. It seems like it takes me forever to detail mine, but the results are definitely well worth it. The things we do for these cars.

For screw991le, if you're using Zaino, use the ZFX accelerator. There's no need to wait between coats and you can apply up to 3 coats in a 24 hour period.

After the nasty weather we had in BG this past weekend, I had to spend two days cleaning her up. Now I can see the white again. I was thankful that we missed the hail Friday night. Zaino wouldn't have helped that.
