Detailing the Cobra [Completed Pics on Page 2]

[greasy]

This has been much needed and I am finally getting around to it this year. I just finished up with the final polish and ready to hit it with a couple coats of wax. Wheels are washed and need to be polished and waxed.

- Soak with Foam Gum
- 2 Bucket Wash
- Clay Bar with 3M Perfect-It & Ultima Waterless Wash
- Meguiar's Mirror Glaze Fine-Cut Polish 2 w/ Orange Pad @6K PCDAP (First time working with this polish and I love the results. It has a cut rating of 5 and is very easy to work with. It does dust pretty well, but what doesn't.)
- Mezerna Final Polish II w/ White Pad @ 5K PCDAP
- Poor Boys Natty's Paste Wax Red (Not Done Yet)
- Collinite 845 Insulator Wax (Not Done Yet)

Wheels are washed, just need to polish and wax them.

Looks good Jim. Any reason you are going over the nattys with the 845? I have applied 845 to my dads truck twice my truck once my moms car twice and my dads vette twice and I think ive used 1.5oz out of 16. Excellent bang for the buck

come to think of it, any reason why you went with a 2 step polishing process ?
a medium cut polish with an orange pad leave a haze ?

i never had hazing issues even with an old school yellow cutting pad and menzerna IP.

I use the super intensive polish now with a white polishing pad ( better results than with an orange cutting pad ) and it works great. no need for a final polish...at least on most vehicles.

Too bad the tail lights are facing the wrong way. :smile:

Your car is truly gorgeous and I hope that one day I can fix my junks body to look almost as good as yours.

I love 845! It has great durability and is easy to use.

Do mine next?

Not really!

I would actually quote you out, but I have no time. I have been spreading this over a few days making it into the garage when I have a few free minutes.

Is it sad that I was impressed with the box cribbing ???

I love the cribbings. I leave them under the car since it has been up in the garage for a while and my wife/kids are always walking through there to get outside.

I am going over the Natty's for the extra durability. I am doing the Natty's first to get the paint to really pop.

I realized that when I finished with the 1st polish I did not have to do the 2nd step, but I figured I would anyway. I have really neglected this car the past year so I am doing extra pampering.

The camera I used is from like 10 years ago. Most cell phones take better pics, except for my cell phone, my cell is shit.
