IMSHAKN and I spent a little over 5 hours on this Cobra R yesterday. I don't think the car had ever been detailed, waxed but never detailed.
I washed it 3 times Sunday in Dawn for prep.
We first claybared the whole car and got off a LOT of junk.
We used Meguire's Professional line products for the paint cleaning and buffing.
On the top had to hit it two steps. Andrew took care of the hood with a regular buffer and I came back over with my DA for a final buff, since for some reason the hood was repainted in a single step paint and not a base/clearcoat! I'm very surprised and happy at how well the hood turned out.
We both went over the car with DAs on the vertical surfaces with a light cut.
Then we washed and dried the car and put two coats of NXT.
The car now looks RED instead of dang Orange!
Sorry for the sucky pics!

Lol. You are kidding, right Tony? Or have you been giving that garage queen a wipe down only since we buffed her out? Originally Posted by AZSonicSnake
