    NCZ13 Birth of a Detailer

    i looked around and didnt see a thread like this here. theres a thread like this on almost every other forum im on though so i figured why not. if it turns out there is a thread like this already feel free to delete this one. this thread isnt just for detailing, but what you did for your car in general.

    so i just got done with my car

    washed
    clayed rear hatch
    dried. polished out some scratches i found while drying the car using my UDM, a low pro orange pad. and XMT3. i also worked in some of meguiars #7 glaze with an orange pad on the driver side fender, just to see if it would change the look of the paint. working it in witha cutting pad at 5k rpms until the polish was translucent gave the fender a much wetter look. the paint was alot deeper as well. however i have a paper to write, and i was to tired to spend 5 hours glazing the car.

    i also polished the headlights, and made them almost crystal clear. i removed alot of the haze, but the pitting still remains. that has to be wetsanded out. and ill probably do that in the near future.

    she also got a coat of megs 21 synthetic sealant, and i also polished the muffler tip, and face of the muffler that has the racing beat logo.

    and my mom just told me its going to rain tomorrow =( at leasts she looks pretty in the garage...

    i should also mention that i use a Home depot grout sponge today. i like the results. it didnt seem to damage the paint any. and i really like the way the sponge released alot of foam when it was squeezed...

    Drove the WRX and drove the Neon, the other 2 just sat. I'm hoping to finally be off of these crutches on Thursday when I go back to the doc. None of my vehicles have been washed since February and it's driving me crazy!!!

    My car was washed this weekend - dont consider it a detail since there was no correction... 5 hrs on JUST the exterior and engine and that's with NO CORRECTION!!! Today was an ONR wash and another layer of AJ
