Shining up a forum member's Z
 
Hey guys,

One of the forum members here - pony_killer, gave me his car to do a quick detail (wash, seal, wax and wheel detail) for a winter prep. Car was in good condition except few minor swirls and hard water spots here and there which I took care of for free. Let me know what you think!

Well, I see where that wetness came from! Good choice on the PS.

Did you use a polish for the swirls or was this just winterizing the paint with waxes/sealants?

Yup! It's hard to achieve maximum wetness on silver cars but I'm glad I did!

Yes I did use some polish and compound on certain areas, clay bar as well because some of the surfaces were rough. So I had to take care of it to let the LSPs to bond properly.

Looks sick but why all the fuss about driving it in Winter? I lived in houston for a couple months and visited family in the winter and it's nice compared to the NW and some of us drive our Z's all year long (if possible)
