Thanks for sharing your process. Once again your Z looks fantastic.
No problem! I don't really understand why some people don't share their process, especially if they found it due to the MOL forums... I owe it to you guys! (and m205)

Thanks for the compliments! I have a lot in store for this car for the next few months, and ill be sure to update to see how you guys like it! I cant wait to see what the Z is going to look like after another 6 months of bi-monthly waxing and m205'ing!

Sun reflection shots are very tricky. I'll usually take a ton and end up with only one that I like. Thank goodness for digital cameras! Try using your manuel focus (if you have one) to change where the auto focus usually picks. And moving around the car to get a less direct angle will help too. If and when you get it right, that perfectly clear black paint will really show off in a photo!
Damn, your black Z looks great! Looks like I should also order up some m105 and m205 to give mine that extra shine. I follow basically the same process and use the same products as you except I do it by hand and have not yet used a polish on my Z. I initially didn't want to polish mine in fear of slowly eating away the clear coat. But you're doing it every two weeks so it should be safe?!? I'll only polish maybe once in 3-6 months after claying.
What pad would you suggest I use if polishing with m105 and m205 by hand?
Very nice work, your Z looks great! Your pictures must have been just before the snow hit. I was visiting family in Salisbury for Christmas and there was still snow on the ground when I left yesterday.

m205 isn't agressive enough to burn through your clear coat with monthly use. I only use m105 if I can't remove swirls with m205. Also, I use m205 monthly with light pressure applied to the entire car, and wax every two weeks. Pad wise, I have no clue. I use the gl110v2 to polish and wax, so by hand, your asking the wrong person lol. Trust me, get a DA! Makes a huge difference, worth every penny, and the results are immaculate!
