The Guz

This is the last detail for 2015. The owner is my uncle. He had me detail this one after seeing how the Camaro came out that I did for him a couple weeks ago. That thread is here

This was an all in one job. I didn't take too many photos. The paint is light in color and it hides defects fairly well.
Started off with a simple wash. I broke it up into section as this thing is large.
Clayed it. The surface was very rough. I saw M34 turning brownish in color as I was claying. That is how much contaminants the clay bar was pulling out. Here's an example.
Once that was done, it was time to clean the paint. I chose to go with Meguiar's white wax. I used it with my MT300 at 5800 OPM's and used it with a Meguiar's burgundy foam cutting disc. Followed this write up.
The power of White Wax
Before
After. Not perfect but much better.
Some various after shots. I did follow up with a D156 final wipedown.
Corrected the headlights as well. Used Meguiar's sanding disc 1000 and 3000. Compounded with M100 on a 3" Meguiar's Microfiber cutting disc and polished with M205 on a 3" Lake Country Hydro Tech foam polishing pad. They were wiped down with CarPro eraser and seealed with Opti-Lens.
My uncle was very pleased with how it came out. He was enjoying the slickness of the paint as well as what was done to the interior.
