Yep, multi-step. I don't really do much package pricing anymore, the prices on my site are estimates based on the normal amount of time each "process" takes me. A normal multi-step is ~8 hours, Anthony's was 7 hours (Z's have a little less real estate than some cars, hah!). For a car in the condition Anthony's was in I'd normally charge ~$420 or so. Of course that includes claybar and 99% correction (meaning, no more swirls), seal, wax, clean and seal wheels, treat windows, wax jambs, etc. Anthony doesn't even know it but this is the wax I used on his car:

What was the process and products used? Car looks very clean and simple. I bet you dont even want to drive it to get it dirty again.

Usually ~10 weeks or so. xdragus had it on his z, I think it stood up about 8 weeks for him.

Washed it, clayed it, purple foam wool + megs 105 on rotary @~1700 rpm, white polishing pad + super intensive polish on rotary @1700, blue finishing pad + PO8RD @~1400, Zaino Z5pro, Zymol Vintage. Wheel sealant on wheels, opti seal on windows and exhaust and door jambs. I think that was it.

if anyone is tired of seeing the hideous swirls on their cars...kevin is the man. The price you pay is well worth it in the long term. Do it right the first time =)
