Freshly Detailed Z28

[mhthomas2010]

I ended up doing a full detail for a fellow member's Z28 Camaro over the past week and thought I'd share a few pics from the progress. The car had sat for quite a while and had a pretty musty smell in the interior as well. I didn't really get the best photos over the whole process but here are a couple:

Here's the car as I picked it up

Very dirty carpets in need of a good extraction

Look at that shine! :jagoff:

Ended up going over the entire car with m105 then followed up with m205, sealed the paint with Chemical Guys Black Light, then topped the finish with some Magna Shine Wax to finish it all off. I wish I would have gotten some better pics throughout the whole process because it was a total transformation!:thumbup:

The 50/50 of the hood tells the whole story. Very nice work!

 

[Superman09]

Very nice work!

 

[mhthomas2010]

Thanks guys! Did it just in time for snow next week lol

 

[mrvids]

Even though the photos weren't very good the difference between old & new was outstanding. That's some nice work there especially since white tends to hide more flaws than other colors.

 

[mhthomas2010]

Yeah I wasn't concerned with documenting the progress so I just took a few here and there with my iPhone. The claying process alone was a dramatic difference mostly because the car sat probably under a tree for a long time

Nice job car looks sweet now

 

[allthrottle]

Damn. Nice ass car!

 

[POPPAJ]

VERY nice work! What kind of extractor did you use?

 

[mhthomas2010]

VERY nice work! What kind of extractor did you use?

Ha well no extractor here just mixed up some carpet cleaner, soaked, scrubbed, then used my shop vac to get all the water out. Wish I had the money to spend on a decent one tho

[Birdie2000]

Nice job!

 

[Instigator]

Looks good but the G8 is gonna gap it !

 

[Pure84GTT]

I like the results with the 105/205

 

[mhthomas2010]

I like the results with the 105/205

Thanks I just started using it and I really like the results. I love how 105 finishes down, I almost didn't even use 205 but decided to take the extra step

 

[mhthomas2010]

Looks good but the G8 is gonna gap it !

I have $20 on Mark lol

 

[allthrottle]

I also have $20 on me. Lol

 

[2fastforU92]

Very sharp.

 

[SloGrn]

Looks way better. Love white fbodys. Whats the 105/205?

 

[Golden]

105 is a cutting compound and 205 is a finishing polish. Meguiar's produces them.
