Default 03 Silverstone...

Silverstone is easy...it doesn't show minor finish imperfections and in direct sunlight can even hide some pretty serious flaws.

But silverstone is not as reflective as black or nfr, imho.

This is phase one...outside cleaning (weak Dawn solution), Zaino Z-5 followed by Zaino Z-2. Another coat of Z2 will go on before WTD. Tires cleaned with soap and water, and dressed with Meguiar's Gold Class Endurance.

Engine detailing will follow once I get some supplies. For now regular dusting and wipe down with a damp cloth will hold the fort...except for CF bits which get Zaino treatment. Engine pics when I get some more shots.

Interior: Meguairs quick detailer on plastic and vinyl. Meguairs Gold Class Rich Leather, until I can get something better.

Still to clean: Wheel wells and undercarriage. (simple green). Top (RaggTopp)

Pics:





Front and mirrors are not as reflective at some angles because of clear bra. Which still beats dealing with stone chips.



Not perfect but not bad for an '03.

not bad, as you say, and very nice shine for silver!!
i can tell that you have a nice shine- your photos get some of it, but there is a lot more to get (photo it in lotsa diff light and from diff angles)

cant wait for phase two- and certainly qualifies for the wacko badge- if you agree, all you gotta do is pm me and i will hook it up-
