I spent a whole week on the exterior. lots of pics.

It was like 15 degrees out each day. I think the warmest day was about 22-24 degrees. In the garage I had two portable heaters and I started up the grill.

I didn't get to fully detail the rims becuase my car is at the stealership again....getting a new fuel pump this time.

Heres some products I used.
Grime reaper and simple green degreaser.
Dodo juice shampoo
Menzerna compound heavy
menzerna 1060ff medium
menzerna po85rd finishing polish
menzerna FTG
jetseal 109
p21s pure carnauba wax
stoners invisible glass
plexus plastic shine and polish

I only did the exterior but the rims and interior are next.

Excellent work restoring the paint. I'm excited to see things went well during the detail. Keep up the great work!

I cant go from a car like this to an old 4wd. I don't need two cars either. When I had the 300zx and the c32 I Just drove the c32 becuase it was more comfortable and practical.

I can't imagine detailing my cars in such cold weather.
