A ton of work, but the pay off is insane! Black Z detailed
Well, I've had my Z for a month now and I've only driven it 4 or so times when the roads were clean, so I decided to go ahead and give it a full detail in preparation for spring.
I started with Adams corrective and then finishing polish on orange and white pads, and then followed that with a once over using Menzerna micro polish. The results are amazing! I'm going to apply the ceramic coat sometime next weekend.
I also added some GM splash guards, a bolra x pipe, some carbon fiber fender stripes (not sure how I feel about them yet) and my Tony Mamo PTB came in so I threw that on too.
Before...major swirl!

Used, 2015 with 1,900 miles. Extremely well kept car mechanically, never seen rain or weather, but the previous owner would drive it then wipe it down and cover it. It was hell on the paint! She's getting the love she needs now though Ha.

Nothing looks better than a clean black Z! It is a full time job keeping them clean. After silver I never considered owning a black car again.
