So here's mine. It's just a stock base model but I spent about 9 hrs on just the paint yesterday, what do ya think?

Oh, yeah...

Porter and Cable Orbital Buffer w/ ....

Clay bar in a clay applicator. (This was fantastic, will never do it by hand)
Meguire's No. 2 polish
Meguire's No. 3 Polish

Sorry about how dark the pics are, didn't have much light by that point in the day

...bit of a glare on that last one, but it's like looking into a mirror.

Looking brilliant!! I must say there's nothing like a clean, shiny Z!

I need to know what this claybar applicator is and where to get one. Thanks!

:OMG: Like a mirror! Great job, I know how time consuming that can get...

Great job! Very reflective! I use a clay bar by hand and it's a pain in the ass. What applicator do you use for it?

Thanks Kenny, couldn't get to hunting it down yet today.

BTW - does anyone else have a kind of light haze across the rear bumper. Mine almost looks like it had been repainted, but I bought it new. I figure I can probably work it out with mequire's 1-2-3 posish process, but man, that was a pain in the butt saturday, hate to have to do more of it.

Very nice :clap:

Nothing like a clean SB.

I can't see it in the pic of the rear ched, so I think it may be just the way the light plays on it.

Nice job on the SB - Looks great for the 1/2 hr that they are clean :yourock:

No, sorry, it's more toward the center and mostly above the license plate. I don't have a picutre of that, and frankly, I don't think it would really show up in a picture. It's barely noticable in person, but I noticed it and it annoys me.

 

[Lo Fi Ched]

side note - now that it's all clean and beautiful, you can really see the rock chips and couple of scratches i've picked up. Luckily, they don't show up in the pics :biggrin: The front bumper must have at least a thousand chips from the very tiny to like 1/16"...and it's only a year old!

Don't I know what you've feeling :banghead:

I've got the same issue with my roadie - it looks great from a distance, but once you get up to it - it looks like the moon due to all the rock chips :werd:
