  • Updated pics of the Z28

    Got out Sunday and washed the car and applied a new coat of colorx and NXT. Looks pretty good I think. Thanks to jaberwaki for the help!

    Hi PendragonZ

    Your car's finish looks as though it's wet!

    ColorX and NXT a great combination that will produce stunning results by hand or machine. I see an extension cord in the picture, did you use a PC or did you apply both products by hand?

      Don't have a PC yet! We used a little orbital buffer that Jaberwaki got at an auto store for 20 bucks. It runs at one speed, I think around 2k or thereabouts. I've never used one before, so I was anxious to see what this thing would do. A PC is definately in our future plans for detailing cars!

          Thanks guys! I appreciate any feedback!

          Do you guys ever notice that when you get your car looking really good, that you start wanting it to look even better? How it can get better, I don't know, but I'm going to try!

          Maybe that's what Barry Meguiar means by "Car Crazy"!

                Another message board wants me to post pics when I get to the bare metal (chrome) look.

                  Looks good! Very deep looking finish, nice work nice car!

                  Same problem here, thats why I keep spending money to buy more products and try all the possible combos of Meguiars products. Seem to get a better looking shine everytime!

                    Maybe a set of Boyd Coddingtons or Z06 copies to add a bit of spice?

                      I'd love to get a new set of rims, but finances are REAL tight, and I just got laid off (with a work through date). Need to find a job first, then we'll see about mods for the car.

                        Damn, sorry to hear that man. Good luck finding something.

                        Here's a pic of my buddy's car with some Boyds on it:
