    9 hours of detailing paint!

    Woke up at 9 o'clock with plans to detail the exterior of my car. I went to the store and picked up A Mothers California gold clay bar kit as my car had gotten a good amount of grit and dirt on it from the road being striped and paved in front of my house. I Finished clay baring and WOW smooth as glass! Next I reached for some NU Finish Scratch doctor! This stuff surprised me it worked very well on light surface scratches and swirl marks, a noticeable difference. After that was complete I used Zymol cleaner wax if any of you are out there that use Zymol you know how this stuff attracts any and every bug!! lol I than hosed off the car and buffed lightly with a terry cloth to seal the wax. NU Finish Once A Year Polish was up next, I had never used this product before it worked well. After the polish I grabbed some Miguiars Ultimate Paste Wax and just Finished as the light began to fade and before the rain. A total of 9 hours later the car really shines and my exterior detail is almost complete! Here are a few pictures I took of the paint, Never got a chance to take any pictures of the final product it was to dark.

        Paint looks pretty good. Needs bigger tires or spacers and lots more low though IMO.

              Thanks, I never got the chance to take a picture when I finished it was to dark out! Those tires are 205/40/16's. I have 205/50/16's tires and a set of h&r sports on the way! Although the car sits much lower than it looks in this picture, It on uneven ground

                Honestly, once you start its not that bad. Does wonders for your paint. As well as machine polish and wax.
