Clearkote on my 2002 Sonic Blue GT

[02SonicBlueGT]

The process
- washed with dawn
- clay bar with clay magic
- washed with nxt car wash
- dried with WW drying towel
-Clearkote Vanilla Moose
- Clearkote Carnuba

then the usual other stuff, cleaned and shined the motor
vacuumed and shined the interior
conditioned the leather with zaino z10

I did everything by hand it it took me forever, becuause it was about 35 degrees outside that day and I kept having to go back inside to warm up.

Let me know what you think

good job. but i think u should have bought a porter cable. It would have given better results. Did you use the ssr 2.5 ?

It looks great. That Sonic Blue has to be one of my favorite Cobra colors.

Why's that? He didnt do any swirl removing. The Vanilla Moose and Carnauba Moose work great by hand.

looks sick

what he said. VM and CMW work fine by hand. VM is a light polish anyways...you don't really gain that much by using the PC with it (besides ease of use and working it in a bit more). As for CMW, you're better off doing that by hand. You'll have better control and waste less product that way.

yeah, I did it by hand plus being still in great shape I didn't really have any swirls to take out. I will admit.. it took me forever to do it all, but its worth it.
Thanks for the compliments guys. I think when I wash it again I'll put another coat of carnuba on to see if I it will shine even more. The guys over at autopia suggested it.. so we'll see what happens. As for the porter cable.. I might get one some time.. but I'd like to get some lessons first so I don't mess anything up.

thanks for the compliments guys. I have monday off work so I think I'm going to add another layer of carnuba and see how she turns out.
