Default Detailed a friends 2003 Black Z

I'm new to my350z.com but I thought I would post up a Z for you guys to checkout! I detailed this car for a Co-worker. Currently the car is for sale (it's only got 18,000 miles on it).

Wash
Two Bucket method
DP Auto Bath
White Schmitt
Super Degreeser on tire and wheel wells
Wheel Brightener on wheels
Various Brushes

Paint Correction
Meguairs M105 on White CCS LC pad speed 6 on Flex
3M Ultrafina on Black CCS LC pad speed 6 then 4 on Flex

LSP
Liquid Souveran on Red CCS LC pad speed 2 on UDM

(the green light in many of the pics has to do with the filter I had on my lens and I did not realize that it was causing this problem.)


The car as it arrived, the sun was not up yet






A scuff on the hood that was taken care of pretty easily.


After washing it was easy to see that they was not much protection currently on the paint.





Tire cleaned up



The sun came out and so did my halogens and Brinkmann
