I was excited to detail this car because it is a show car and also unique!!! The car had very tasteful mods & it had horsepower to back it up. The car arrived clean. It only had very light swirl marks underneath a layer of Arizona dust. Here are some before pictures... Sorry I only have a few pictures because I couldn't really capture the swirl marks with the intense arizona sun.









Here are some wash pictures:









I tried getting some clay pictures but the embedded dirt was very light.

All taped up and ready to go:





After claying the car, I performed an IPA wipe down to see the true condition of the paint. I was shocked to see the amount of swirls the paint had!!! It didn't have that much swirls when we first inspected the car before delivering it to me. I guess the previous layer of wax hid all some of the swirls.

Since this car is a show car, I wanted the paint to look as perfect as possible. I decided to go ahead and use a 2 step detail right off the bat. I also recently received my Meguiar's M105 so I wanted to try that out as well. I used both Meg's M105 and Menz SIP throughout my paint correction phase. Here are some 50/50 shots:

Driver Side Door:













You can literally see the pearl popping in the after shots... The pearl flakes were more noticeable and the color of the paint changed from a light hazy blue to a deep and rich blue. Here's a 50/50 shot I took just trying to show the difference in the reflection. You can really notice the clarity improvement achieved.

Approximate time: 12-13 Hours. I don't know why it took this long...

Here are some after shots inside the garage after Menz Powerlock has been applied:
















Menz powerlock was left to cure overnight. The next day, I applied a coat of Autoglym HD wax. Here are some pictures after this step: (My jaw literally dropped when I saw the shine after removing AGHD)













































What do you guys think?? I wanted to post better pics in a different location but I didn't want to drive the car since it's not mine. Plus, the car is LOOWWWW!!! Didn't want to scrape the car either.

I'm surprised nobody commented on this thread!
Clean car.. how do you like AGHD?

Bri

^^ Yeah man I don't know why either.

Thanks for the comment! AGHD rocks!! I like how it beads water after applying the wax. However, I haven't compared it to any of the high end carnauba waxes such as Swissvax so I don't know how to provide a review in relative terms. But for its price, you can't beat it!
