Spent most of the day yesterday washing and polishing my car. It was my first time ever using a porter cable and some serious polish. I started around 1pm and didnt finish til almost 9. I took a shower and passed out soon after LOL. Here is what I did:
-Washed car with Dawn
-Clay bar with Blackfire clay bar
-Washed car again with Meguire's NXT car wash
-Removed headlights, tail lights, 3rd brake light, and taped up the trim
-Used Menzerna's Final Polish II with white pad
-Next Menzerna's Finishing Touch Glaze w/ black pad
-Finally Menzerna's Full Molecular Jacket w/ red pad
-For the tires I used Meguire's High Endurance Gloss gel.

Well here are he pics.

Missed a spot!! It looks great, how do you like The menzerna's products?

Damn I thought I was picky when I cleaned!!

Look's great!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm gonna be doing something like that soon, except using all Meguiar products. I don't have a porter cable, but have a Craftsman Waxer/Polisher/Buffer. Got it as a gift, so I gotta find some pads that are 10 inch for it.

Looks GREAT btw, black is a tough color to look good.

I used Armor All tire gel the other day, very pleased. I've used a lot of tire sprays/gels/foamsm lol.

One more thing, that's such a SICK pic or your arse with the KDW2s. By far the best pic I've seen with 295/35's, mmmmmm, I got to get me some of those.

Hey now, stop looking at my rear end. LOL. Yeah, I knew someone was going to ask for an a$$ end shot, so I took it upon myself to take a pic of it before someone asked.

Hey Christie, since my car is all purdy'd up, wanna take pictures of my car? I know she looks good with my crappy photography skills, but with your skills she'd look awesome!

LOL, I think I got most people beat, except for the hard core detailers. I still have to take off my rims and clean the back plus clean and detail the fender wells.

DarkShadow04 04-15-2006 04:12 PM

cleaning fenderwells might take some hardcore scrubbing

4.6 Love 04-15-2006 04:39 PM

jeredan2003 04-15-2006 04:51 PM

MattJ 04-15-2006 05:15 PM

looks good man. nice and shiney.

FritoBandito 04-15-2006 07:29 PM

Very nice. Mustangs run better when they are spottless.

Lances03SVT 04-15-2006 07:36 PM

A set of spinners with those center caps in them would look awesome on there!!!

Grimmz 04-15-2006 07:54 PM

Wow, that clean as hell, I thought I did a good job when I cleaned and Waxed the car today but DAMN!...

madmatt 04-16-2006 07:09 PM

Wow Swervo, it looks AMAZING.

herndy_1 04-17-2006 07:45 AM

Nice man. HAHA this thread is kinda funny though because I am about to post a very similar thread here in the next few days. I spent 8 hours detailing my car on Good Friday since we didnt have school. I also took some pics that night and the next day. Just be looking for the pictures in the pictures forum here in the next day or so.

whitethunder46 04-17-2006 10:31 AM

Im gonna be doing the same. Already bought Meguiars NXT wax and a MF polishing pad. About to order some #80/#83 Wax since I can't find it in any local stores.

What's a good pad to use for the buffing with #80/#83? I have a Craftsman Orbital Buffer, works well, but it's 10" pads, so kinda hard to find them.
