Lil o this & that.updated pics

Yeah I'm not the best photographer, but here are a few before n after's. The key note is that the afters are about 4 weeks after! LOL

Process:
Wash and clay with Detailing Dynamics Clay

Polish horizontal surfaces with Menzerna IP and orange pad via cyclo (Hood was was swirl city after I got it back from the body shop last year...Yeah I know I just haven't had time). Several passes needed on the hood and rear deck as I had a ton of water etching.

Followed everything up with Menzerna FPII and green pad via cyclo. You'll notice that I didn't get too crazy with the front bumper as it is rock chip city and will be taken care of shortly.

Diamondite 3 step cleaner on glass (Done a few weeks after initial polishing)

2 coats of Zaino Z5 Pro, another Z5 pro a week later and today was a coat of Z2

Mequires High Endurance on the tires

Didn't have time to polish the wheels with a lil wheel wax, but that will be coming shortly.

Here are some befores afters and a few other shots I took today.













AFTERS

Since the last time I posted pics:

Dropped on Tein Basics: Originally I had them slammed as low as they can go, but I bottomed out once and it scared the $hit outta me & had me thinking that if it happened on a hwy or something, who knows what would have happened so I raised the front a bit but kept the back slammed. I loved it when both were low, but it is not practical on public roadways!

Stillen Sways

JWT Clutch & Flywheel

Still need to install SPC rear camber kits as you can see in some those pics the negative camber is pretty bad.

4080 Box with JL 10W6 & JL 500/1

Think that's about it until the next and final mod arrives (Supposedly this week).

Lots of places to get Menzerna. I think their US HQ is in Miami. If you go on Autopia.com, you'll find teh best advice and places to pick up great detailing items!

Since you're in Cali, I would say hit up www.pakshak.com

Pick up some Menzerna IP and FPII, some pads, MF's and you'll be good to go as long as you have a porter cable or cyclo.

Thanks for the comments guys.

As far as positioning goes, it's exit only! And there was no one around! Except for the few geeks that may have been working in that office! I could only imagine what they were thinking if they were in the office! lol
