Default Detailed with PC and Wolfgang Swirl Removal Kit

Hey, so i got a PC 7424XP with the wolfgang total swirl remover kit. after washing my car, i decided i'd 'touch up' a few spots that were bothering me. i clayed the areas and polished them. But before long, what started as a 'spot fix' turned into me doing a full exterior detail on my car. i wound up claying, machine polishing, glaze (lighter polish) and sealing with wolfgang deep gloss paint sealant, all using the PC 7424XP. all i can say is i'm really happy with how it turned out
pics from inside my garage, tough to get some good angles. still a bit of dust from wiping away the sealant left over in some pics

Looks good. I too will be doing this soon. It is a chore, but worth it.

thanks

if you use the sealant and wash properly, you should really only have to do this once or twice a year. so yes, it is a chore, but not one that must be done often. and i must admit, there is sometthing really fun about making a surface really shiny.

Great looking Z! I did the same over the weekend. I’m sure you can’t stop going to the garage as well just to look at it

holy cow dude! great job. i bought the PC7424 and wolfgang 3.0 swirl remover too. haven't used it yet. but good to see the results on your's does your's have the clear bra on as well? did you remove that before detailing your car or did you just left it on? mine has it as well and i am contemplating whether to leave it on or remove it. probably leave it on though.

thanks man! ohh definitely leave on the clear bra. there are products used to clean the clear bra. you can pretty much clay it, and then use the finishing glaze (which is basically a light polish) and use the wolfgang sealant on it. although expel sells a special sealant for the clear bra.

yeah-I was looking to get a clear bra-but am not sure what would haze it up, etc.
Z looks awesome! I did not even see the garage for the shine on that car!

great job! Looks good, wolfgang is a great product line. Really good job and I know how this crap is addicting... from touching up some spots to just doing the whole car.
