Get the paint clean!!!!!

Do NOT do anything to this car until you get the dirt and the stains out of the finish.

Wash the car with Dawn diswashing detergent. (Removes everything previous)

I like 3M cleaners, swirl and scratch removers etc. Clay is always the first step. It is not a hard job if you use a liquid detailer and spray as you clay!

When the paint is clean Use a Porter Cable, Buffer, not a body shop sander or buffer too harsh especially on silver. Use the recommended pads. Be careful only to the extent of the age of the paint. (How much clear coat is still there?)

After clay, apply 3M product and buff out. Do it again!

Use Zaino Z5 with the NEW flash additive! Buff. Do two coats of Zaino Z2!

After your arms fall off and you recover from this task write and tell me how it turned out!

Try the Web site: Roadfly. They have detailers on there that will help you!
