This car belongs to my girlfriend's father. Unfortunately, I haven't been able to detail this car in two years (and it was evident). It had no protection, water spots, swirls, bird droppings, etc., and an interior full of leaves, dirt, and very dry leather. My goal wasn't to remove every defect (it's likely they'll soon return), but I gave it a deep cleaning inside and out. I had the vehicle for several days and drove it a little in between.


Process:

Day 1

-Vacuum thoroughly
-Zaino Z9 Leather Cleaner everywhere but glass
-Zaino Z10 Leather Conditioner everywhere but glass
-Simple Green 1:3 for wheels/tires/wells
-Zaino Z7 wash
-Zaino Z18 clay with Truck Gloss lube
-Zaino Z16 on tires

Day 2

-Zaino Z10 on seat bottoms
-Zaino Z7 wash
-Menzerna PO106FF with polishing pad at 1500 rpm (x2 on a few water spotted areas)
-Zaino ZPC by hand on wheels and exhaust tips
-Zaino Z5 Pro (ZFX'd) x 3
-Zaino Z8
-Zaino Z16 on tires

Day 3 (actually day 6)

-Vacuum
-Meguiar's Interior Quick Detailer
-Zaino Z7 wash
-Zaino Z8
-Zaino Z16 on tires
-Sprayway on all glass

Before and Afters:











*(sorry for the smudges - they were removed with a subsequent washing)*

 

This one belongs to a good friend, and he wanted a good interior and exterior clean-up. Nothing major here except a little tar and moderate dirt inside.

Process

wow great job!!

C6

 

helluva difference on the c5
nice work

 

Great job on some sweet looking vettes

 

I'll take the C6, please! It really makes me sick to see a rough looking Corvette. I'm glad you came to the rescue. Anyways, I'm not familiar with Zaino products. It looks like they have everything well organized since their products are all labeled Z3, Z4, Z5, and so on...etc. I've always been a Meguiar's fan. Maybe I'll give Zaino a try.

 

Thanks for the comments!

Yeah, it was in rough shape, but I sort of understand. The owner has 4 businesses and works 60-70 hours every week. He just doesn't have the time to take care of everything.

 

That C6 looks amazing. Awesome job on the C5.
