First detail I have ever done. I loved it. Definitely going to be my passion when it comes to cars. I am even offering doing it around the area now and then when I have free time. After seeing this site, next time I will take a lot more pictures. Right now all I have is before and after. This was all done by hand. Z-PC is AMAZING at leaving barely ANY swirl marks left behind. I only have them here and there.

Looks great! Reminds me of my black mach 1 when i used to use zaino. Im pretty curious to try z8 but i loved z6 as a qd
I'm bringing them in my suitcase..lol. The people who ask about detailing and are serious get told about this place. Great job, Frank! Now use the damned wax!
Tomorrow! I am going to do a good wash, maybe put some more layers of polish and then that wax is going on. I will post up some pictures of the steps. Finally got a day off and it's not going to rain and even if it does, the garage is mine for a week and a half!
