Detailed my car today.
-
NOT my Trans Am!
I put about 5 hours worth of paint time into the car. It's a night and day difference. This thing was swirled and marked to high heaven. I've been into detail my other car for a while, but I must say, this car came out ALOT better than I ever though it would.
I threw in a crappy pic of my 2 cars side by side for good measure. I havn't even dusted off my other one.
EDIT: pics shortly, internet is moving slow.
I also did the intake, and to my suprise, I found the original air filter in it with 72K miles. This is one of the worst looking air filters I have ever seen. It was a night and day difference between this one and the new JMB intake, which sounds awesome. I will have a vid and pics of the intake shortly, my connection is moving slowly.
Tough to beleive by looking at it that it go 13's this summer...:)
EDIT: if you are wondering what I used/did, let me know. I can post it later.

Washed w/meguires gold soap, Used 3M adhesive remover to get road tar/rubber of, Porter cable with meguires #8 on a semy course foam pad, fallowed by meguires #2 with a little bit softer foam pad, fallowed up with some S100.
I also used a semi course pad with meguires #8 on the wheels. I normally wouldn't do this, but they were in bad shape. I wouldn't use a new pad for this either. They look awesome, it didn't damage them at all. I also used Meguires quick detailer between buffing because it was starting to fast, lol.
If you have any more questions, let me know!
Also, I used a polymer sealant, Zaino, on the wheels. Regular wax will heat up from the brakes, and be gone in a matter of days. Polymers last a LOT longer. Since I can layer Zaino without build up, it is perfect for rims. It makes it 50000 times easier to clean of break dust.
