My semi-detail

This is the semi-detail that i did today. I have Zainoed about 4 other cars and this is one of the ones I'm currently working on. In these pics it just has a z-7 wash with some polish and all swirls removed by using auto zone OTC products. Took me about 3 hours to do this, I washed twice, clayed every surface twice to make sure of pure smoothness, polished, used swirls and scratch removers and dried using Mr. clean autodry filtered water and leaf blower with the California water blade. THIS IS THE MONTE CARLO PACE CAR FROM WHEN DALE EARNHART DIED SO I WAS REALLY CAREFUL, SO RESULTS MIGHT NOT BE THE BEST. Just remember this car has 150k miles on it, all original parts and original NASCAR paint. This car was run at Daytona and has gone over 100MPH. So don't flame for obvious paint chips.







And yes, thats the 07 MDX in the garage

but you have a camcorder to take pictures, right? the lenses and the size of the sensor must be better, equaling good picture quality. Mega Pixels don't matter unless you want to zoom (learned this from the camera section in ramblings )
