Detailed the Max (PC, Zaino, etc.) Before/After **Pics**

So I spent pretty much all day today getting the Max ready for Spring/Summer. The poor car had a bad winter and didn't get any TLC.

So here are the steps I took:

1) Washed it down with Zaino wash (car had NO WAX on it, water wasn't beading at all). So no Dawn wash.
2) Clay barred the whole car with Meguairs products.
3) Used Pinnacle Advanced Swirl Remover with the PC7424.
4) Used 3M Finesse-It Polish with the PC7424.
5) 1 Coat of Z5 (w/ZFX).
6) 1 Coat of Z2 (w/ZFX).
7) Spray down with Z6.
8) 1 Coat of Z2 (w/ZFX).
9) Final spray down with Z6.

Now some pics:

The "before's" aren't that great, but you can see the swirls and dirt.





This is during the process after step 4 above.

Here she sits after about 7 hours of hard work (guesstimating).

Wow, I thought the car was tan or silver in the first two pics. I can't wait to take the PC to my car.

Nice job, MixSER6. White is a hard color to get to 'pop' but yours does. Any more pics? Especially in full sunlight?

Thanks everyone.

I really like the PC. Very easy to use and does the job!

I'll have some more full shots today. I and some fellow orgers are helping me install coilovers. So I'll have my camera during the mini-mod-meet. I'll also take some shots after she's done and getting ready to go home.
