    Eastern Classifieds - SOLD 2002 NBM Trans Am M6 SOLD SOLD SOLD!! - SOLD SOLD SOLD http://i1169.photobucket.com/albums/r505/TheBSMachine/IMG_20130505_132202_947.jpg (http://s1169.photobucket.com/user/TheBSMachine/media/IMG_20130505_132202_947.jpg.html)...


    I am cleaning it up and buffing out 10+ years of swirls. I just started with the spoiler today to get my process. Used just a porter cable DA with LCC pads.

    Washed
    Clayed (no apparent contamination)
    M105 on a Orange Pad #5 setting 2 passes
    M205 on a White Pad #3.5 setting 2 passes
    Show Car Glaze on a Blue Pad #3.5 setting
    Hand applied Ultimate Paste Wax

    Very impressed. I'd call it 90-95 correction. Could have appied the rotary to make it quicker but no rush, just taking my time. Photos from my Droid Razr Maxx.

    You can def see the orange peel but looks amazing even with the daylight gun or halogens.

    You can almost swim in it.

    I'll work a section at a time, top down, looking at the sail panel next.

We can go out for a drive without her makeup and she looks fine. If I want to take the black one out, it is three or four hours in the "bathroom" to get ready.

          Got busy during the week but car is more or less done. Already people calling bout it.

          Got some more work done. Spent easily 8 hours on it but the front clip corrected quicker as its newer clear. After buffing 2 coats of ultimate wax. So easy to work with.













          Last step will be the Ult Quick Wax but the layers will be built up. Hope to get some outside shots.

              Good stuff!
              I think the best thing you're doing is taking your time with it, too often I find myself waxing my car and I just want to get it done so I may rush the process a little

              LOOKING GOOD!

                Yea. Had a guy look at it and way a bit nit picky for my taste. Can't win them all. I was still knee deep in the detail and was not done. Uggghhh. He was a MAsshole.
