First I want to say without all the helpful information I have obtained from this forum and from watching those Junkman videos, I would not have took the plunge and discovered my Z's true shine potential!
I purchased a porter cable and adams kit from adamspoloshes.ca. After reading threads on here and watching the junkman videos for the last month or so i decided its time.
Dexter at adamspolishes.ca was awesome and really helpful! He shipped everything fast (our postal service is on strike so he sent the kit on the greyhound!)
I got the pc 7424xp, the kit that included the swirl and haze remover, fine machine polish and the machine super wax, and I added the 4inch pad system. I also purchased other various items that i wanted to complete a proper full detail.
So it took me 5 nights to complete, I spent 3-4 hours a night after work...near the end I was missing driving the car real bad.
I'll include a few pics, mind you they are only cell phone pictures as I busted my proper camera...
but I figured some pics are better than no pics at all...I tried to take my time and work at getting near perfection, but with a black car i knew I had my hands full....It seemed I was on the swirl and Haze remover for a while as I kept seeing better and better results with more and more passes 5-10 passes depending on the area like the spoiler was bad and trunk hatch area but got everything 99% out...(I should have purchased the Severe swirl and haze remover and the green pad probably, it may have saved me some work...Although I did use the yellow pad I got with the 4inch pad system with the swirl and haze remover on tough areas followed by the orange pad and so on..)but stopped short of using the 4inch pads on a drill...
I will say this, as AK mentioned in his thread GET LOTS of detail spray as it is used alot! Also I would like to comment on how good all the products smell its like candy for grown *** men, I like the detail spray and machine superwax smell the best, and it made the process more enjoyable!
Below are pics of the rear spoiler at the left and right ends. One side has only been clayed and the other has been corrected using the 4inch yellow pad and the Swirl and haze remover 3 passes. (I havnt followed that yet with the orange pad and SHR or the Fine machine polish with the white pad and the results were amazing!)
Also Included a pic of the contents I purchased, one of the rear hatch after taking the 4 inch yellow pad and SHR over 3 passes, and the other pics are when I just pulled it out of the garage. These pics really do it no justice. Its like a mirror in person, the black looked better than any other black vehicle i've seen lately (and I own the 3 black vehicles and thought they were looking pretty good till now).
I will say this patience is key, couple times i got tired and just started rushing but stopped myself and called it a night. Junkman is right patience is key and dont expect to do a proper job on a black vehicle in one night, it just wont happen.
